This Queer as Fiction episode is on Kenyan director Wanuri Kahiu’s 2018 lesbian romance film, Rafiki.
Join us for a rich exploration of Kenyan culture through the lens of the director’s self-titled “Afrobubblegum” genre, the real-world ramifications of releasing a lesbian film with a happy ending in a country where homosexuality is criminalised, and a DJ named after an Australian cartoon character.
Check out our website, where you can find our sources, as well as everything there is to know about Queer as Fact.
