Defying cultural norms and family expectations, 22-year-old Heba Afify takes to the streets to report on an Egypt in turmoil, using tweets, texts and Facebook posts. Heba’s words bear witness to the heady optimism of a country on a path to self-determination, the toppling of a dictator, the difficult transition towards democracy and the celebration of a cultural shift where a younger generation inspired a country to “lead themselves”.
Discussants: Irungu Houghton (Oxfam), Aamera Jiwaji (Nairobi Business Monthly), Philip Thigo (Social Development Network, SODNET)

About
The OUT Film Festival takes place for the second time in Kenya. The film festival not only wants to celebrate queer cinema, but to make known to Kenya that a community that the general society deems secret exists. The festival promises another selection of films and documentaries from the region, continent and globe.
The OUT Film Festival is about celebrating life’s challenges, love and diversity. It continues to carry forward the message of Ubuntu.
Diversity + Tolerance = Ubuntu
Ubuntu = I am what I am because of Who We all Are
The OUT Film Festival is supported by the Gay Kenya Trust, the Embassy of Switzerland and the Goethe-Institut Kenya.
