Date / Time: 27 April 2015, 18:30 hrs Location: Topkino, Rahlgasse 1, 1060 Vienna Participants of the panel discussion: Harry Freeland – Director of the film “In the Shadow of the Sun” Rosemarie Moser – Dermatologist and President of the NGO “Tumaini – Hope for People with Albinism in Afrika” Martin Nesirky - Director, United Nations Information Service (UNIS) Vienna (Moderator) _________________________________________________________ Filmed over six years ’In The Shadow Of The Sun’ tells the story of two albino men as they attempt to follow their dreams in the face of prejudice and fear in Tanzania. Against the backdrop of an escalation in brutal murders of people with albinism, quietly determined 15-year-old Vedastus still dreams of completing his education. Josephat Torner has dedicated his life to campaigning against the discrimination of his people and decides to leave home and travel to confront the communities who may be hiding the murderers. Rationality is Josephat's shield: "We can't be refugees in our own country just because of our colour." Through an intimate portrait of Vedastus and Josephat, director Harry Freeland reveals a story of deep-rooted superstition, suffering and incredible strength.
