Directed by a Kenyan filmmaker, “I am Samuel” (“I am Samuel”) shows a romantic relationship between two men living in Nairobi and has drawn the ire of the country’s censors for promoting “same-sex marriage as an acceptable way of life.”
The Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) said the film was intended to propagate “values that are at odds with our constitution, cultural values and norms.”
“Worse still, the production is degrading for Christianity, as two homosexual men pretend to carry out a religious marriage invoking the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit,” said the head of the KFCB, Christopher Wambua, in a statement, declaring it “blasphemous.”
Any attempt to show, distribute, broadcast or possess the film restricted by the Republic of Kenya will be punished to the full extent of the law.
