Andy Webster New York Times "In Africa, ignorance is the major disease that we suffer," says Adika Ferdinand, the principal of a Tanzanian school. The same could be said for much of the world. "The Boy From Geita" is an effective salvo against that plague. Oct 15, 2015 Full Review Meave Gallagher Village Voice The Boy From Geita has some fascinating subjects but absolutely no idea how to present them. Oct 13, 2015 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International You will meet some extraordinary people and truly learn something in this documentary about albinism. Oct 16, 2015 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film This is one of the most harrowing documentaries released this year.
