EP 20: Rafiki

Queer Pressure - Un pódcast de Catherine Johnson

Categorías:

This week, Catherine and Maddie dive head first into the 2018 Kenyan drama film, Rafiki (meaning ‘friend’ in Swahili), directed by upcoming superstar, Wanuri Kahiu. This classic coming-of-age story about star-crossed lesbians falling in love was the subject of a lot of backlash for portraying homosexuality without remorse and was banned by the Kenya Film Classification Board, but we think it marks the beginning of a new age in Kenyan cinema. Join us for a conversation about mixed reviews, western supremacy, and African art. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/queerpressurepc/support
