Queen of Katwe
Forget everything you know about Queens. There's a new royal highness coming to town! Meet Queen of Katwe, Phiona Mutesi, a chess prodigy from Uganda.
It's a timeless, uplifting, and radiant Disney drama film of a girl's own self-discovery through the game of chess in Katwe, Uganda. Growing up in its harrowing slums, her life is changed once introduced to the game. Quickly, she finds herself excelling against her teammates and as a Ugandan chess prodigy. Is it her token to a better life? You'll have to find out when it makes its debut on September 23rd.
GofG movie pairing recommendation: your mom, because the mother-daughter bond between Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) and her mother Nakku Harriet (Lupita N'ygongo) is absolutely heart-tugging.
