Britain's Whitest Family

Waheed Khan's touching film focuses on three sufferers of albinism from different families.

Haider, 25, is one of six albino siblings, an occurrence so uncommon that it would qualify as a Guinness World Record. This rarity is the product of two albino parents, matched together out of fear that their condition would leave them without a partner in later life.

Ayo, 16, is the oldest of three albino siblings, and also has educational attainment problems due to his condition.

Joey, 15, is the only ethnically white albino subject in the film. Having been harshly bullied throughout his life he finds solace in his multi-instrumental talent for music.

This warm and moving film follows these three victims of ignorance and circumstance as they attempt to regain their confidence and discover the identity for which they have all been searching.
