Texas Movie Premiere "Rafiki" Alamo S. Lamar
Texas Premiere
Tickets:$12
Bursting with the colorful street style & music of Nairobi’s vibrant youth culture, "Rafiki" is a tender love story between two young women in a country that still criminalizes homosexuality. Kena and Ziki have long been told that “good Kenyan girls become good Kenyan wives” - but they yearn for something more. Despite the political rivalry between their families, the girls encourage each other to pursue their dreams in a conservative society. When love blossoms between them, Kena and Ziki must choose between happiness and safety.
