A Christian organisation has filed an application in court to be enjoined in a suit challenging the ban on Rafiki film. Rafiki tells the story of a romantic lesbian relationship, hence the move by the Kenya Film Classification Board to ban it over the homosexual theme. In its application, Kenya Christian Professionals Forum director Charles Kanjama says it wishes to be enjoined in the suit. KCPF is an organisation of Christian professionals representing Christian churches in Kenya that make up 80 per cent of the Kenyan population. Rafiki, which means friend in Swahili, premiered at the Cannes film festival in September, the first Kenyan film to do so.
