This happens very often in Africa, like in Tanzania, where « witch doctors» and « shaman » believe making potions with these parts will bring prosperity etc... Or they think that people with albanism are cursed and will bring bad luck so they are often murdered. It is horrifying. These under developed areas need to be educated as many people with albinism live in constant fear, and many have had this done to them by a family member which is even more disturbing.
@@texasiguana We did, but it was the practitioners and the innocent people accused of magical practices who were tortured & executed in the USA, and in the European proto-revolutionary territories that became the USA after the war.

I lived in Baltimore in the early 90s when I was 20. I made friends with an albino African-American. I've never seen someone so teased/harassed/bullied by other African-Americans. As a white guy I felt safer in some black neighborhoods than him. Underneath the pigmentation where all same thing: human.
Underneath the pigmentation where all same thing: human. SOUNDS GOOD, BUT HERE IN THE REAL WORLD.... We could be here all night over which group sees what. And HOW they react. Nothings changed.
desperate times takes desperate measures. as a thought experiment, suppose every racist person in the world would go blind. or better, slowly watch themselves turn into what they hate the most. self realization can be the worst punishment
This is the harsh reality many people with albinism face every day in parts of Africa. I'm hoping my film will shine a light on this very dark practice. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is absolutely horrific. This brought up an interesting issue that I’m excited to do more research about. Thank you Omeletto and the creators of this film! 🤍🤍
kodus to every creative involved in this film, its an incredible piece. As a south african, I love how real this topic has been protrayed. People living with albinism are unfortunately still maginalised, especially in poor communities such as this one. The ending is heartbreaking, but is true representation of how these criminal witchdoctors almost always walk free.
Thank you for your hard work! The fact that people with albinism in Africa are still treated ruthlessly is unthinkable. Those regions need quality education, I guess.
Greetings Everybody Thank you so much for the amazing feedback. White Gold was an incredible masterpiece for me to work on, with an incredible filmmaker Luke Bradford & supporting cast & crew. Just a point of correction, it's person(s) with albinism and not "albino" as most people have been saying. Albino is a derogatory term. Hence also highlighted in the film when Mansa corrects everyone I hope it's touched your souls. 💛 . Love & Light Refilwe Modiselle 🤍🕯️✨🙏🏻 (Award winning lead actress, Mansa)
Boom! Respect your beliefs you say? I would rather mock them out of existence. The more I have to bite my tongue around relatives who are sensitive on the subject of theism, the more I am ashamed of myself. My way might not be the correct way but based on our knowledge and understanding of reality, it most certainly is the most rational.
@@reme001 If there was never Christianity, we would still have slavery all over the world. The death penalty would be a HELL lot more common and we would of had more dictatorships...
Hi Todd, I was trying to break away from Hollywood convention and start Mansa on a journey of personal redemption. But I hear you! Thanks for watching.
Hahaha the ending had lot of people mad, myself too even though I was Mansa. When I saw this die the first time I said to Luke, the filmmaker whaaaaaaat. Thank you for watching 🙏🏻
I've heard about this and seen a small documentary about an orphanage for children with albinism to go to for their safety. This movie brought a different depth to this problem. Incredibly well done
Some African countries should follow the other African countries that have a civilised approach to albinism, u know treat them like normal people! Don’t generalise the whole of Africa too like west and south have different cultures and beliefs, the way albino’s are sadly treated in Tanzania isn’t the same in Nigeria
Are you from Africa? You mention different parts of the continent having different views on albinos, do you know what some of the other views are? Do other African cultures have an opinion on albinism? Or are they indifferent and albinos are just treated like everyone else? I'm just curious and it's not really something I can find info on.
People don't generalise unless they're socially engineered. POLITICIANS & their media do that for a living. Witch doctors & tribal leaders are responsible for this social engineering. As in any culture - someone will try to control the others one way or another - and some will always just follow the herd.
@@kickballfever I'm from Kenya, and this never happens. My roommate in college had albinism. Nobody really cared. In Kenya, it is considered a disability and they actually receive some excemptions I won't go into now. It very bad to just say 'Africa'. There are 54 countries in Africa and we are all very different.
@@nyikasplace9886 "There are 54 countries in Africa and we are all very different. " This is exactly why I asked. Africa is huge, with tons of cultures and this film only touched on one country. Thanks for explaining to me how things are in Kenya, I'm glad to hear that albinos are treated well where you're from.
This is so sad. This actually happens a lot in certain villages that believe those albino children are bad omens. They are often hunted for their body parts or killed. A lot of mothers abandon their babies in fear. There’s a documentary about the omen of albino children in superstitious believing villages
I saw a documentary even though I live in Tanzania it where this happens but I have never witnessed it it broke my heart how can they do that to someone
It’s interesting to me that the guy calls the cops to save the witch doctor but doesn’t see anything wrong with cutting off innocent peoples limbs 🤔🤦🏽♂️
Just amazing as to how much one "dr." can fool people into believing his lies. Amazing that medicine men still have this much power to this day. Thank you for bringing to light such a sad but powerful practice. 😔
@@LukeBradford3 Thank you for making this short film, the work you are doing is so important, and people must be shown the hard facts concerning both child amputations and ritual killings of children, again thank you .
Wow, man. That albino lady was so good that sometimes I almost felt like this was real. She’s an amazing actress. This short was beautiful and great like all omeleto shorts. Bravo 👏
This was hard to watch but thanks for shining light on this crisis that is happening. I pray for the protection of our beautiful albino brothers and sisters. 🙏🏼❤️
Mansa is a Mandinka word meaning "king of kings" or "emperor". It is particularly associated with the Keita Dynasty of the Mali Empire, which dominated West Africa from the thirteenth to the fifthteenth century. I learned this in the 1990s while studying world music, as one of my favorite musicians from that era is Salif Keita. A Mali musician, who has Albinism. He was born a prince and cast out from his family. I highly recommend you listen to his music. My favorite song was always: Sanni Kegniba
This film really touched me and reminded me how much other brothers and sisters suffer daily just because of the colour of our skin. We really live in a sick world and hopefully some day we will overcome. Congrats Fifi and Luke on a great piece of work
I knew about this happening from a documentary and it was interesting to watch a dramatized account of the situation. It really is difficult and frightening to be an albino in parts of Africa today.
Great short, Luke! Sad that it is based on real life happenings, but I’m glad you could shed some light on this issue for those of us sheltered by privilege
Ysah, was gonna post a similar answer. Humans fear what is out of the ordinary. In time enough fear can become panic which is very overwhelming. The human psyche has a limit no matter who the person is. Push it far enough and it becomes blind to everything around it, blind of reason. Without reason, everything collapses.
Hello to the director Luke Bradford. We met on statia years ago and I always believed he would have a successful career. So great to see this excellent piece of filmmaking!
Wow this is so incredibly powerful I'm at a loss for words. Brings so much light to such an evil and dark existing issue. I would like to learn more about this and what can be done. Thank you so much for this powerful message. I hope this helps save the lives affected by this and this will start a new journey into change
Very profound. I also took note of the very subtle use of bloom in scenes that focus on Mansa, partially emulating the vision of someone that has albinism. One of my favourite characters in fiction has albinism (Not as profound as Mansa's, but enough to turn his feathers white) and as white was the color of death in his culture he also suffered extreme discrimination. It's sad that this is a story that has played out in reality many many times.
OMG poor girl how can someone do that and have no heart but what goes around comes back around you won't get away with that I am glad she goes and gets revenge I am happy for her such a beautiful woman this actress
@@LukeBradford3 I love all your short films especially the one with the guy meets the blind and deaf guy and they meet each other and they help each other out and he's a homeless guy it was so hard touching it made me cry and restore my faith in humanity
A remarkable story, great actors that hit the mark of what is going on in the world ... Tell your story to change the world, even if it's just a bit player you shall be heard.
The last scene manifests that this social evil is the nucleus of a vicious cycle. But the children Mansa is educating can be considered a faint silver lining in the darkness.
thanks your for yours hard work that’s the facts that’s people with albinism in Africa are still treated ruthlessly it is unthinkable Those regions need a quality sum education
i literally almost passed tf out with nausea when the cop did that...wtf... why dismember and leave them alive even? so they can procreate and make more white gold bs? it’s so much more sickening than the release of death
I love this film. Wished the witch doctor was put in jail at least. Mansa feeling alienated from the other children with Albinism due to her PTSD and her being amputee now due to the vile witch doctor was raw and felt real.
People saying its superstition... it isnt. Superstition, much like religion, is just one of the many common excuses for prejudice and irrational fear. Using the us as example, i dont recall reading the bible jesus promoting persecution to gays, jews or telling his people to bear weapons of any kind, rather teaching to turn the other cheek- yet how many christian turn the other cheek? The issue is prejudice, irrational fear- and in the case of these countries scammers who protect thenselves with said irrational fear being normalized. I watched a documentary once where it was clear that even the people who didnt quite believe their powers felt they couldnt be certain if speaking out they wouldnt suffer something... and in that case it isnt just fear born and teached since birth (cultural) but an actual risk of persecution, after all witch doctors have followers and in many country gangsters love then so the cycle completes their magical power is bs, but they do have power; A pychological one, a social power. People need a massive effort to reshape public opnion, thats the only thing that will take their only real power away
Jesus told the disciples they needed to be armed. But he never told them to seek out fights or assault other people. Of course, he never said to mistreat homosexuals.
@@Marinanor Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” And so it goes. Everytime priests claim jesus said to carry weapons they refer to the old testament- you know, the jewish bible, the old ways, while Jesus claimed he came with new teachings, a new way and truth (god as love above all, and for everyone)
@@Marinanor i knew you would mention, that single line... he follows those events telling then to not draw their swords (wich i already pasted) not to mention the famous turn the other cheek
This is absolutely horrifyingly this brought an interesting issue that’s i’m so so soo excited to do more research abt. Thanks your omeletto and the creator’s of this vid film?!..
Firstly its people with albinism not "albino" as you have referred here. And no it wasn't easy to find these children. I literally had to get involved because most were afraid it might be some kind of way to have them kidnapped. Also because the industry isn't often open to people with albinism. We aren't given a fair opportunity. And no people albinism aren't as scarce as you assume. You can find them in numbers in different parts of Africa & the world at large. So no we are not 1 in 100, we are many & alive & kicking ass. - Lead actress, Mansa
What is your definition of common? Tanzania which has the largest albino community in the world only has 17,000 people with that condition. They die from sun exposure-skin cancer more than they die from ritual killings.
Education education & more awareness & education. Also just society to take responsibility to treat treat everybody with equal love & respect regardless of what they often want to box. Thank you for watching. (Lead, Mansa)
This happens very often in Africa, like in Tanzania, where « witch doctors» and « shaman » believe making potions with these parts will bring prosperity etc...

In addition there are many people with albanism in Afrika, not like in the western world where this condition is rare.

their magical power is bs, but they do have power; A pychological one, a social power.
People need a massive effort to reshape public opnion, thats the only thing that will take their only real power away
Jesus told the disciples they needed to be armed. But he never told them to seek out fights or assault other people. Of course, he never said to mistreat homosexuals.
@@Marinanor
But, unfortunately, homosexuality is neither encouraged nor condoned in Scripture.
@@Marinanor Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
And so it goes. Everytime priests claim jesus said to carry weapons they refer to the old testament- you know, the jewish bible, the old ways, while Jesus claimed he came with new teachings, a new way and truth (god as love above all, and for everyone)
@@Vincer and whatever happened to when Jesus said "Sell your cloak and buy a sword"
@@Marinanor i knew you would mention, that single line... he follows those events telling then to not draw their swords (wich i already pasted)
not to mention the famous turn the other cheek
And here I thought... LOOK. We do things DIFFERENTLY around HERE. U gonna do something, DO IT!
This is so tragic 🥺
Tragic but true. Thanks for watching Anne. (White Gold writer, director & editor)
What a sad world we live in................
This is absolutely horrifyingly this brought an interesting issue that’s i’m so so soo excited to do more research abt. Thanks your omeletto and the creator’s of this vid film?!..
well done on this vid film
Wow... The main actress in this, Refilwe Modiselle... has to be the most beautiful woman I think I've ever seen in my 35-year life.
Excellent, very powerful! An important film, well done to all involved
Thank you Gerald
Wow, I alaways believed that albinos we’re beautiful, it’s sad she lost her hand. When people do evil, they can’t take it. Plus props to the dad
Thank you for watching. And it's person(s) with albinism, not albino as most have incorrectly been taught. 🕯️🤍✨🙏🏻

So powerful you have to share on all social platforms
Thank you Khanyisa! Yes, please to share our story. (White Gold writer, director & editor)
I'm here after learning about Soka.
I wish this woman had've been born somewhere that would appreciate her beauty. 😔
I’m just surprised they found so many albino people for this film, especially children. It must be more common than I thought.
Thanks for watching our film, we worked hard in the casting process! (Write, director & editor of WHITE GOLD)
Firstly its people with albinism not "albino" as you have referred here. And no it wasn't easy to find these children. I literally had to get involved because most were afraid it might be some kind of way to have them kidnapped. Also because the industry isn't often open to people with albinism. We aren't given a fair opportunity.
And no people albinism aren't as scarce as you assume. You can find them in numbers in different parts of Africa & the world at large. So no we are not 1 in 100, we are many & alive & kicking ass.
- Lead actress, Mansa
Whereas there are people with albinism all over the world, that part of East Africa seems to have a higher concentration of them (so I've read).
hartseer einde, mooie story
Wow. I just saw a documentary about this a few days ago!
I was like hey... it's south Africans 🤣
Thank you....I know this story is more than acting....thank you
Thanks your for telling the truth
If I was that cop, I would have been like, "you go ahead and chop that bastard's arm off like he did to you; I didn't a damn thing."
believe it or not this is common in africa
What is your definition of common? Tanzania which has the largest albino community in the world only has 17,000 people with that condition. They die from sun exposure-skin cancer more than they die from ritual killings.
Not in my country. Africa is not a country✌🏾
How do we help these innocent people survive and how do we educate the general public to stop believing in witchcraft?
Education education & more awareness & education. Also just society to take responsibility to treat treat everybody with equal love & respect regardless of what they often want to box.
Thank you for watching.

The People doing these things in the USA too, are CANNIBALS eating Human Meat like we saw in the Movie.
Yeah but that’s not really a thing we see a lot of I mean I can’t really remember the last time we saw something like it in the news
and here i'm thinking brothers have it bad in the states ..
"One who causes
others
misfortune
also teaches them wisdom"
I’m surprised that this horror is still going on anywhere in this world. So barbaric and inhumane. Trust treat people well. It’s that simple.
The sad thing is that things like this actually happen
