Please join us for a screening and discussion of Rafiki, award winning 2018 film directed by Wanuri Kahiu, on January 23 at 7:00 PM. Discussant Erin Moore is part of the Pozen Family Center for Human Rights and received her PhD in Comparative Human Development from University of Chicago in 2010.

Synopsis:

“Kena and Ziki live very different lives in Nairobi. Kena works in her father’s shop and awaits the start of nursing school, while Ziki passes the days hanging out with her friends and making up dance routines. Their paths cross when their fathers run against each other for seats in the County Assembly, and they find themselves drawn to each other. Soon their interest grows to affection and the girls find ways to love each other despite the ever-watching gaze of the neighborhood.”

The Rafiki Film screening is co-sponsored by CRSPC.
