KFCB Bans Kenyan Gay Film

In a statement on Thursday, the regulatory body said that the documentary film, I Am Samuel, violates Article 165 of the Penal Code that outlaws homosexuality, as well as the provisions of the Films and Stage Plays Act Cap 222 of the laws of Kenya.

"The production is demeaning of Christianity as two gay men in the film purport to conduct a religious marriage invoking the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, " read the statement. "On the basis of religion as a classifiable element, the Board finds the documentary not only blasphemous but also an attempt to use religion to advocate same-sex marriage".

Directed by Samuel Murimi, the 69-minute documentary is an intimate portrait of a Kenyan man torn between balancing duty to his family with his dreams for his future.
