VIDEO : Kenya Bans Lesbian Love Story Film 'Rafiki' Set to Open At Cannes

On Friday, Kenyan authorities have banned a film that tells the love story of two women on the grounds that it promotes lesbianism. Despite the decision, activists have said that the ban would only further promote interest in the movie. ?Rafiki?, a word that means friend in KiSwahili, was this week invited to premiere at next month?s Cannes Film festival ? the first Kenyan film to receive such an invite. The Kenya Film Classification Board announced the ban on Friday and said in a tweet: ?Anyone found in its possession will be in breach of law."
