At the Edge of Skin

At the Edge of Skin follows the lives of Laiz and Joselito, two individuals with albinism, as they navigate the complexities of daily life. Told through the contrasting perspectives of Laiz, a young girl, and Joselito, an older man, the film offers a shared insight into their lives, meandering between managing their health, responsibilities and social lives, and offering a candid look at the complexities of living with albinism in a society overcome by ignorance and superstition. At the Edge of Skin sparks crucial conversations around the need for systemic support, including access to government healthcare, psychological care and inclusive social programmes. At its core, the film is a poignant reflection on identity, resilience, community and the journey toward acceptance and visibility for those living at the edge of their skins.
