@designindaba: "They asked me to change the ending because it was too hopeful." When filmmaker Wanuri Kahiu refused to change the ending of Rafiki, the film was banned in Kenya. In this powerful Design Indaba talk, Wanuri explores why stories of joy, hope, love, and possibility are essential to African storytelling and representation on screen Instead of accepting narratives rooted in remorse, she began exploring stories of joy, hope, love, and possibility across Africa's past and present. Her message is powerful: our stories matter, and the stories we choose to tell shape how we see ourselves and each other. What stories of joy do you think deserve more space on our screens? 🎥 Watch the full talk on the @designindaba YouTube channel 🎤 Design Indaba Conference Follow for more ideas on creativity, storytelling, design, innovation, and culture. #WanuriKahiu #Rafiki #DesignIndaba #AfricanCinema #Storytelling #RepresentationMatters #DiversityInFilm #CreativeInspiration #AfricanStories #FilmMaker #WomenInFilm #Cinema #Culture #CreativeLeadership #FilmIndustry #Joy #Hope #AfricanCreatives #BlackPanther #Inspiration
