She Speaks Volumes With Her Gaze
It’s time to visit Nairobi, Kenya on our Virtual Summer Vacation with 2018’s Rafiki. Our agents come away from this visit with a deep appreciation for the Afrobubblegum style of filmmaking and the beauty of the movie.

Our agents were both moved and hopeful for the story of these two young Kenyan women.
