Kenya: Controversial Priest Movie Scoops Two ZIFF Awards

Filmmaker Bob Njanja's controversial film inspired by the late Father Kaiser scooped top prize at the just ended fourteenth edition of the Zanzibar International Film Festival (ZIFF).

Bob spoke to Word Is about the award. He said, "This is the first festival we have entered the movie in after the March 2011, release. We wanted it to premiere in ZIFF because it's a home festival. We are very excited that it won and the reaction from the audience was touching." Though he was not present to collect his prize the Director of the Kenyan International Film Festival (KIFF), Charles Asiba, received it on his behalf.
