Synopsis:
Queen of Katwe, a biographical venture about the life of a severely underdog Ugandan girl named Phiona Mutesi is directed by Mira Nair, an acclaimed Canadian director. The film follows her story as she rose from the very humble beginnings and took her country to the world stage as she won several awards in chess. After making her presence felt in the World Chess Olympiads, she went on to win the Woman Candidate Master championship. Her struggles and the things she had to do in order to reach where she is now is what compelled the filmmaker to take on the task of bringing her story to the silver screen. The star cast includes David Oyelowo, Lupita Nyong’o, and Madina Nalwang.
