Exeter Students Interview ‘Rafiki’ filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu

The Kenyan film Rafiki was released in the UK this month, and three of our students (Ben Apea, Aysha Taylor, and Molly West) recently interviewed director Wanuri Kahiu for the Africa in Words blog. Rafiki was banned by the Kenyan Film Classification Board for (in the words of its chief executive) “its clear intent to promote lesbianism” – then unbanned for seven days, then banned again. Ben, Aysha, and Molly are taking the module African Narratives, run by my colleague Dr Kate Wallis, and the interview was one of their assessments on the module – good job folks!
