Sarah Boslaugh PopMatters ...does a fine job of presenting the difficulties faced by albinos in Tanzania, but fails to dig deeper to uncover the financial interests behind this horrifying trade in human body parts. Rated: 7/10 May 24, 2013 Full Review Jennifer Tate ViewLondon An eye-opening and awareness-raising film documenting the cruel treatment of albinism in Tanzania, In the Shadow of the Sun is an emotionally gripping and truly harrowing documentary with an inspiring message of courage and strength. Rated: 5/5 Mar 27, 2013 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Freeland captures the beauty of Tanzania and uses the landscape as a way of illustrating the isolation and loneliness suffered by those with albinism.
