The Kenya Film Classification Board announced a prohibition on the exhibition, distribution, possession or broadcast of"I am Samuel," on Thursday.
"We will try and appeal but I am really disappointed because I was looking forward to engaging with fellow Kenyans" on LGBTQ issues, he said. "I just want father to understand me, the way I am, to know my life," says Samuel in the film. When his father discovers that he is gay, he is disowned and grows worried that his family might have paid people to"teach him a lesson."
"The Board finds the documentary not only blasphemous but also an attempt to use religion to advocate same sex marriage," the KFCB said in a statement. It was also an affront to the constitution, which codifies marriage as heterosexual, the statement said.
