American magazine Variety features the ongoing battle between Jitu Films and the Kenya Film Censorship Board (KFCB).
The piece titled “Movie ban can't quash Kenya's Jitu” by Christopher Vourlias, read:
“The often antagonistic relationship between government and the film community has been a thorn in the side of many Kenyan filmmakers. Local productions are forced to navigate an endless maze of red tape: fees to the censorship board, pre-approval of scripts from the Department of Film Services, battles with the Ministry of Information. The government, too, has been accused of double standards: While Otto: The Blood Bath was deemed too horrific for Kenyan audiences, pirated Western horror films are readily available on the streets of Nairobi.
