That’s great to hear. 

For anyone not up to date Rafiki is a forthcoming Kenyan film about two young Kenyan girls from political families who fall in love with one another.

The film played at Cannes 2018 in the UCR category and unfortunately has been banned in its home country since it positively portrays a lesbian relationship. 

As I write this (in June 2018) Rafiki is currently playing on the festival circuit and currently only has distribution in a handful of countries. So if you live in France you will be able to see the film in September and if you live in the U.S. and Canada you might also get to see it since Film Movement an indie film company picked it up and will give it theatrical and eventually VOD distribution. There’s no official release date yet but be sure that I will post it when that info becomes available. 

Right now you can support the film by supporting the director by following her on social media:
