This stirring, lively romance from Kenya follows two young women as they meet and fall in love – despite the moral objections of friends, family, and, indeed, their entire country, where being a lesbian is a crime. Initially banned at home, RAFIKI has become an international sensation and has helped bring renewed attention to the issue of LGBT rights in Africa.
