I recently saw the preview for Queen of Katwe with my daughter and we both instantly wanted to see the movie. The trailer alone was inspiring!

The movie is based on the vibrant TRUE STORY of a young girl from 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.

If you haven’t yet seen the trailer, take a peek :
