In this friends-fall-in-love story (rafiki means ‘friend’ in Swahili), two young women from rival political families contend with the conservative values of their culture and families.
Kenyan director Wanuri Kahiu’s film was temporarily banned in her home country and was also the first Kenyan film selected for the Festival de Cannes.
“Its lead protagonists and their endless reserve of raw, bittersweet chemistry are Kahiu’s greatest asset.” – New York Magazine
This film contains strong themes, violence, coarse language, and mild sex scenes. Viewer discretion is advised.
