Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Kenya Bans Film About 2 Girls in Love Because It’s ‘Too Hopeful’ - The New York Times

That's a pity, Ken.


I believe, though that,  in the long run,  the film will show up in other avenues such as "you tube." I agree that would mean a loss of income for her but the point against censorship would have been made.

let us see how the courts deal with this, meanwhile.

It won't be available for a while, Gloria. I asked wanuri, and they are enmeshed in the legal battle to get it available in Kenya, and aren't yet—or probably near—being reading to do a distribution. If she can't distribute it at home, in Kenya, that is going to hurt her financially quite a bit. I asked if we should try to campaign on her behalf, and the answer for now is no. another friend said it might actually hurt the situation… unfortunately.

They are approaching the courts on the ground of legal rights to distribute, not on the grounds related to the contents.

If it is as great as "Pumzi" then it is certainly worth seeing. I shall have a look. Thanks for the information.

Wanuri kahiu is one of kenya's top, new, exciting woman filmmakers. She made this film, Rafiki, which is now banned in Kenya. This is a real shame. I urge folks to click on the link posted by toyin below
