Kena and Ziki long for something more. 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. Inspried by Monica Arac de Nyeko's "Jambula Tree", which chronicles a story of two girls in love in Uganda, "Rafiki" challenges deep rooted cynicism about same sex relationships among actors, crew, friends, and family in Kenya.

« Groundbreaking lesbian romance aims to change Kenyan hearts and minds. » The Guardian
« At home, where homosexuality remains a criminal offense, Rafiki has been slapped with a ban for its positive representation — a state of affairs that makes this lively, brightly performed film impossible not to celebrate. » Variety
