...I did my usual weekly walk downtown just to see what happens down there. My interest this time round was on 50 Shades of Grey, the movie. As everybody knows, this movie has been banned in Kenya by Kenya Film commission. Today I came to learn that in Kenya banning means making something popular and increasing demand. From Koja mosque all the way to Railway station, all movie shops, those clothes stalls, those food joints, everywhere, the movie is being sold and at a meager price of ksh 40. My question then is why ban the movie even when those who had no intentions of watching it will do so? The movie can also be accessed online. Do people given certain jobs really know what those jobs entail?
Here is a synopsis of the movie. God help our country.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a 2015 American erotic romantic drama film directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson with a screenplay by Kelly Marcel. Based on British author E. L. James' bestselling novel of the same name, the film stars Dakota Johnson as Anastasia Steele, a college graduate who begins a sadomasochistic relationship with young business magnate Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). The film was written following the huge success of the books selling over 100 million copies and being translated into 30 languages.

The Plot
Anastasia "Ana" Steele is a 21-year-old undergraduate at Washington State University's satellite campus near Vancouver, Washington. When her roommate, Kate Kavanagh, becomes ill and is unable to interview wealthy 27-year-old entrepreneur Christian Grey at his company headquarters in Seattle for the college newspaper, Ana agrees to go in her place. Christian is interested in her, and soon after, he arrives at the hardware store where Ana works. Christian, in town to deliver the commencement address at WSU, agrees to Ana's request for a photo shoot to accompany the article.

After the photo shoot, Christian invites Ana to have coffee, but leaves abruptly, confusing Ana. For her graduation, Christian sends Ana first edition copies of Tess of the d'Urbervilles. Ana celebrates with friends, and, after drinking too much, spontaneously calls Christian. Concerned, he goes to the bar to find Ana, who passes out. She wakes up the next morning in Christian's hotel room and is relieved when he says they did not have sex.

Ana and Christian begin seeing each other, but Christian asks Ana to sign a non-disclosure agreement that prevents her from revealing anything about their relationship. Christian expresses interest in a subculture relationship with Ana involving controlled bondage. Ana reveals she is a virgin. While she is considering the agreement and negotiating her own terms, she and Christian begin a sexual relationship that includes some of the sexual practices Christian desires.

Christian showers Ana with gifts and favors, such as a new car and laptop. After moving to Seattle with Kate, Ana becomes closer to Christian. One night, she accompanies Christian to his parents' house. During dinner, Ana mentions she is leaving the next day to visit her mother in Georgia. Christian is infuriated as Ana had expressed she wants a romantic relationship rather than a purely sexual one. She is shocked when Christian unexpectedly arrives in Georgia while she is visiting her mother. Christian leaves soon after to tend to an emergency in Seattle.

After returning home, Ana continues seeing Christian, who is still interested in further sexual experimentation. Ana initially consents and participates willingly. Christian, however, keeps Ana emotionally distant, upsetting her. While still considering the contract, Ana asks Christian to demonstrate how he would "punish" her for rule breaking. Christian whips Ana's buttocks six times with a belt, making her count each time he strikes her. She is upset and finds it far from her romantic expectations. Ana concludes that Christian is wrong for her and that his practices border on being deviant and excessive and leaves
