Every year at dead of night a group of children with an extremely rare medical condition gather in the woods on the eastern coast of America. They suffer from xeroderma pigmentosum, a genetic defect which has left around 1,000 children across the world allergic to light. A small group of them make the yearly trip to Camp Sundown where they can run freely outdoor. Matthew Chapman visits one of these camps and records the tales of children for whom even a few minutes in the sun might kill them.
