For sure the film does not constitute propaganda for war, hate speech, advocacy for hatred or discrimination neither does it undermine the rights and reputation of others. These are the only acceptable limitations to the freedom of expression (Article 33).

I am not sure what the film is about in its entirety, but the main
storyline is a lesbian romance in Nairobi. It is the first Kenyan film to
be nominated for the Cannes film festival and will premiere there on the
8th of May.

Here is the trailer for the film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M_-ucSaFpU

Hi

I was shocked to learn that the film classification board has banned an
LGBT film, Rafiki.

Our Film and Publication Board recently attempted this but it was
reversed
by the courts.

Films are ICTs and we should be discussing this on the list.

I am looking forward to the discussion.

Kind regards,
Alex
