"This ruling encourages diverse, bold and authentic filmmaking. Rafiki walked so many stories could run.”
Kenya’s Court of Appeal has overturned its decision to ban Rafiki, the groundbreaking 2018 drama that depicts a lesbian romance between two Kenyan women.
The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) banned the film in April 2018 due to its “homosexual theme and clear intent to promote lesbianism in Kenya contrary to the law”. The decision came after director Wanuri Kahiu declined to give in to demands to change the ending, which the board deemed too positive.
