Great story line and i was amazed to realize the young boy is played by a girl.
Second Zambian movie i have watched after am not a witch on Netflix .
From the onset you see great cinematography, great acting and good character development though some actors overplayed their parts.
No Spoilers here sorry!!
However i wonder why the dialogue is piercing to the ear in most scenes and the movie was only in stereo which rendered my usual Netflix experience.
But Zambia is just a growing film industry and this is the start we look for great projects from them after all the world is theirs now!!!!

I haven't finished watching this yet, but so far it sends a powerful message to those with open minds and hearts. I think that many times, many of us don't realize just how much we judge others. Watch this with an open mind and maybe you will begin to understand how hatred forms. Very powerful movie! I highly recommend this movie for every age, race, religion, ethnicity, however you choose to classify it. I wish it could be included in school classes, could be such a game-changer in all societies! I'm 75, was raised in a some-what racist family, though I do do hold to those beliefs, so I watch a lot of films like this to learn more. This has been a game-changer in my mind.
Joseph had to endure so much and I love how he over came everything this is the most beautiful movie I've ever seen thank you both Joseph where outstanding but imma say your Joseph is amazing I I will definitely recommend as I have already told everyone in my family to watch and they love it I was so sad for young Joseph but he overcome anything. Such a wonderful person he just melted my heart I wish I would of been in the movie because you wouldn't never be treated that was shame on people that do not want to get to know you but great job to the hole cast you all where wonderful I loved it and already seen it 3 times.
This move, so real and powerful that dragged me as a part of it. Knowing Albinos as I grew up in Brazil, I understand people's fear, rejection, bulling & loneliness. Feelings only certain people will experience. You can't share that. You can only show the truth & make people recognize how unfair, cruel & cold people can be. You can then hope and pray for a better world where people will accept everyone for what they are & give them a chance to be part & accomplish something, and be respected and acknowledged for whatever it is they are good at. That's acceptance.

I definitely recommend watching this film
It is an African Film with African actors based on an African Story.
The film is successful in taking the viewer on a roller coaster emotional experience. It evokes extreme emotions from multiple angles.
The storyline is relatable and the actors were exceptional in portraying their characters, especially young Joseph.
My heart was broken into various pieces and bonded back together in a short space of time.
I read somewhere that this film is actually based on true events. I definitely commend the film makers for what they were able to archive with this film. I think they did justice to the storyline.
