A new film has highlighted the issue, writes Ben Collins.
Christine Nestel called Fiji's largest television station to ask if she could use footage from a talent programme. It was, she explained, for her documentary Coming Out of the Shadows.
The clip shows Laisa Bulatale, a woman with albinism and one of the subjects of Nestel's film.
She was eventually put through to the CEO of Fiji TV Geoffrey Smith.
