Episode synopsis
Waldemar meets albino musician Lazarus. He gained worldwide fame when Madonna produced a film about him. Myths still exist in Malawi. Eating albino body parts could give special powers. As a result, albinos live in uncertainty. The role of God is important because missionaries brought Christianity to Africa during colonialism. Today, a hybrid with traditional culture has emerged, in which singing and dancing in church are accepted.
