QUEEN OF KATWE

This upcoming movie is one of the emotionally strong stories that will leave you filled with renewed energy for life and living it at full speed. Queen of Katwe is a Disney masterpiece that will wow us all with how fragile life is and the importance of support system that people – beginning from our childhood – often miss out on.

One of my favorite actresses Lupita Nyong’o is playing a part in this movie. She is a talent who gives it all when it comes to transforming her emotion into the message of importance to any human being.

There will be a newcomer in the movie – Madina Nalwanga – discovered literally in the streets of Katwe. The poise, the wisdom this young actress plays a real-life Queen of Katwe is incredibly believable and genuinely expressive.

“Queen of Katwe” is the colorful true story of a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion.

Directed by Mira Nair (“Monsoon Wedding”) from a screenplay by William Wheeler (“The Hoax”) based on the book by Tim Crothers, “Queen of Katwe” is produced by Lydia Dean Pilcher (“The Darjeeling Limited”) and John Carls (“Where the Wild Things Are”) with Will Weiske and Troy Buder serving as executive producers. The film stars Golden Globe® nominee David Oyelowo (“Selma”), Oscar® winner and Tony Award® nominee Lupita Nyong’o (“12 Years a Slave”) and newcomer Madina Nalwanga.
