- An African music student returns home and has to defeat the witch doctor who dominates his tribe and take them to healthier land.
- He's from a place so old it's been called the cradle of mankind. She's led a privileged life in America without hardship or pain. Together these two unlikely friends embark upon a journey from the heights of Mt. Kilimanjaro to the depths of an AIDS ravaged village where even the smallest children become outcasts at the mere hint of the disease and malaria is an ever-present threat. As Venance and Kristen experience the ancient culture, heart-breaking poverty, and eternal spirituality of Venance's motherland, the ability of the Tanzanian people to love, dream, and persevere in the face of overwhelming hardship triggers a life-changing transformation in Kristen-one that brings her face to face with her own mortality and will ultimately cause thousands of lives to be saved. Tanzania: A Journey Within is a dramatic, emotional, and visually stunning odyssey that will challenge and inspire you.
- The story of albinism in East Africa has been dominated by the one-sided approach of vulnerability, discrimination, stigma and exclusion. These people have only been described as victims, unable to influence their own lives, driven here and there by authorities at national, regional and local levels. It is time to change the narrative and instead spread stories that show the opposite, that there are actually people with albinism who have passed through school against all odds, they have overcome obstacles, they have families who support and love them, they have created themselves a good life. They are role models that can arouse hope, which light a spark in many of the children and young people who today live their lives imprisoned in sheltered schools where they rarely or never get the opportunity to meet their families again. These children and young people deserve to see what opportunities can actually await them in adulthood. This film will open a platform to marginalized group of people to have a discussion and understanding their role in the community despite their conditions. It is very difficult for persons with albinism (PWA) to have a voice in the Tanzanian society, since they in many situations are not listened to, facing discrimination and marginalization from early ages. The film is representing the voices and faces of of these people, proving to the outside world that they are a voice that will contribute to the development of a democratic society. The interviews has been done all over Tanzania, and during the roadtrip the film team stopped here and there to talk to ordinary people in the streets, about their views on people with albinism.
