Can You See Us? is a 2022 Zambian film. It was directed by Kenny Mumba and loosely fictionalised by Andrew Thompson and Lawrence Thompson.

The film is loosely based on the life of the John Chiti, a child born with albinism. It premiered on Netflix on 27 August 2023, becoming the first Zambian film to be released on the platform.

Harry Graham, Producer at BBC mentions, "Growing up with albinism, Zambian singer John Chiti faced a lot of stigma. As a boy, he was bullied, and as an adult he faced barriers to his music."
