This rare and intimate portrait explores a young Scottish womans perspective about living with albinism. The condition has often made Gemma an outsider but she is equally determined to lead a normal life.
Gemma Sherry was born in 1984, The nurses told my mum theyd never seen a baby as fair as me. It doesnt matter to Gemma that she doesnt have her eyesight; Ill never be able to drive a car, but thats about it, she says climbing the highest indoor climbing arena in Europe. Im proud of who I am. A truly inspiring story directed by the Bafta-Scotland award winning Yulia Mahr.

Great to see someone coping in such a positive and enlightening way you are an inspiration to others such a refreshing viewpoint :-)

I don't understand why anyone should be staring. So she's got light hair and skin, so what? She's a beautiful girl. People can be so needlessly cruel.

Such a well made Documentary - I felt for 13 mins I had albinism myself.

Only a racist would say something bad about this girl.. i love all race,white,black,albino,asian ..no matter what, i feel bad when someone is feeling rejected.. GOD LOVES US ALL , why can't we just love ourselves..Jeeeez !

True-all of it! Wonderful documentary. Segments that blur vision not a true picture of how we see. Staement that things all of a sudden appear better description. People with albinism do drive. finding others who understand is the greatest gift.

Fantastic documentary. Really informative and well made.
-
Being proud of something you were born with is stupid, you didnt achieve or choose it.
Though if presented with this she would probably phrase it differently.
Good documentary depicting a little piece of albino struggles.

very white people in scotland are having problems. you should see the episode about africa - kenya i forgot the country where they kill albinos and grind their bones for blackmagic and shit. they believe albino bones have supernatural powers.
