Directed by Wanuri Kahiu, "Rafiki" centers on Kena and Ziki, who both long for something more than what they're expected to be. Despite the political rivalry between their families, the girls resist and remain close friends, supporting each other to pursue their dreams in a conservative society. When love blossoms between them, the two girls will be forced to choose between happiness and safety. Wanuri Kahiu's lesbian love story is the first Kenyan feature to ever screen at Cannes.
