Acerca de esta película

In Tanzania, albinos like Adam are called “zero–zero,” which, translated literally, means “nothing”. Adam's pale skin makes him vulnerable not only to the sun's rays, but to the most violent and hateful crimes imaginable. This large-scale problem is made worse by local witch doctors propagating the belief that the body parts of albino children bring good fortune. Ostracized from society and in constant fear for his life, Adam finds an unlikely kindred spirit in Peter Ash, a Canadian businessman who also has albinism. Together they embark on a journey that transcends cultures and continents in hopes of raising awareness for their shared condition.
