Rafiki, was banned in Kenya by government watchdog KFCB. The film classification board had alleged that the movie’s depiction of homosexuality runs contrary to the laws and the culture of Kenya.
Wanuri has said that Kenyans showed her love and watched her movie despite the ban.
Wanuri’s Response about the fake article
Wanuri says during the seven days the film was screened in Kenya, some people opened up to her.
“Many people came to me and told me they saw themselves in the movie because they had lived in denial for so long,” she said while on a TV interview.
Wanuri has thanked Kenyan viewers and subscribers who believe in her fights to express what affects the audience without following regulations from the authorities.

While Rafiki remains banned, Wanuri Kahiu says the movie is still getting abundant views and love from the local audience.
