At 12, Adam is attacked by a machete-wielding butcher. His body parts are worth thousands on the black market because he has albinism.In Tanzania and surrounding countries, hundreds of people with albinism have been killed or mutilated because of the belief that their condition confers upon them magical powers. Many of the victims are children.I talk to Peter Ash, founder and director of Under the Same Sun, an NGO in Canada and Tanzania working to end this brutality. Peter tells me the story of Adam, a 12 year old Tanzanian boy with albinism who fights back and survives an attack.
