Meanwhile, others decided to take matters into their own hands and go claim their blessings.

BuzzFeed News has reached out to Nyong’o’s publicist to find out if she will attend the screening.

The screening comes at a time when a break from politics is extremely welcome for the city's residents. Kisumu is the stronghold for opposition leader Raila Odinga, who recently held an unofficial swearing-in ceremony for himself as the “People’s President of Kenya.” People in Kisumu are hoping that the Black Panther screening will be the diversion they need from the months-long saga of Kenya’s controversial election season.
