She has no idea she has qualified to compete at the Olympiad. No idea what the Olympiad is. No idea that her qualifying means that in a few months she will fly to the city of Khanty-Mansiysk in remote central Russia. No idea where Russia even is. When she learns all of this, she asks only one question: “Is it cold there?” She travels to the Olympiad with nine teammates, all of them a decade older, in their twenties, and even though she has known many of them for a while and ljourneys by their side for 27 hours across the globe to Siberia, none of her teammates really have any idea where she is from or where she aspires to go, because Phiona Mutesi is from someplace where girls like her don’t talk about that. 19th sept. 2010 Dear mum, I went to the airport.

    VIEWER’S GUIDE IN UK CINEMAS OCTOBER 21 © 2016 Disney EthosMedia.org/QueenOfKatwe PO Box 1800, Southampton SO15 9GP [email protected] In this Viewer’s Guide we explore more of the true story behind Disney’s Queen of Katwe (in UK cinemas from 21st October 2016). Much of this is drawn from the book Queen of Katwe, by the journalist and author Tim Crothers. Tim was initially commissioned to interview Phiona Mutesi by ESPN The Magazine but says ‘within hours of my arrival at Agape Church in Katwe, I realised that Phiona’s story was much bigger than just a magazine article. I knew I needed to write this book.’ This is a story of hope. It shows the power of combining the talents, hard work and determination of those currently trapped in poverty, with the right encouragement, advocacy and support of those seeking to help them fulfil their potential. Phiona’s particular story of success through chess is exceptional, but the principle is universal: enabling people to develop and use their talents can achieve great things. Throughout this Viewer’s Guide we offer thought-provoking questions POINT to suitable for use on your own or with other people. We hope that this small PONDER booklet will enrich your life, and enable you to enrich the lives of others, as you reflect upon the inspiring true story told in Disney’s Queen of Katwe.

  • Movie Review: Queen of Katwe
    Movie Review: Queen of Katwe By Kurt Jensen Catholic News Service NEW YORK – The glorious “Queen of Katwe” (Disney) applies the traditional formula of an uplifting sports drama to the real-life story of a Ugandan chess prodigy. The film then goes in unexpected directions to expose the scars horrific poverty can leave on the human soul. The principal characters are all presented obliquely as Christian, and Phiona Mutesi’s (Madina Nalwanga) first exposure to chess comes through a sports ministry. But religious faith and practice aren’t really shown here. The hero is Robert Katende (David Oyelowo), a missionary and former soccer player who starts a chess club in an abandoned church in Katwe, a shantytown outside Uganda’s capital city, Kampala. He turns down an opportunity to pursue a lucrative career in engineering so he can teach the village children a skill that will enable them to expand their minds. “This is a place for fighters,” he tells them. Phiona is illiterate, since her widowed mother, Harriet (Lupita Nyong’o), a vegetable peddler, can’t afford to send her children to school. Her older sister, Night (Taryn “Kay” Kyaze), has temporarily escaped the shantytown squalor by living with an older man who provides her with money that she passes on to Harriet. Phiona’s introduction to chess is a simple explanation from another girl who tells her what each piece does, finishing with “They all kill each other.” Phiona’s an outcast even among other poor children; they’ve decided that she smells bad. She faces further scorn any time she defeats a boy.

  • Disney's “Queen of Katwe” Is Based on the Vibrant True Story of Phiona Mutesi, a Young Girl from the Streets of Kampala, U
    Madina Nalwanga (right) as Phiona Mutesi Phiona Mutesi (right, green shirt), Robert Katende (back row center) Disney’s “Queen of Katwe” is based on the vibrant true story of Phiona Mutesi, a young girl from the streets of Kampala, Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess by soccer coach and former missionary Robert Katende, 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 from a screenplay by William Wheeler, “Queen of Katwe” is produced by Lydia Dean Pilcher, p.g.a., and John Carls, p.g.a., with Will Weiske and Troy Buder serving as executive producers. The film stars Golden Globe® nominee David Oyelowo, Oscar® winner and Tony® nominee Lupita Nyong’o and newcomer Madina Nalwanga. Phiona’s story is a powerful testament to the strength of the human spirit, and it all began when she came across Robert’s chess program in a makeshift Agape Church in Katwe. Two years later she became Uganda’s junior chess champion and eventually, the national champion. Then in 2012 at the age of 16 at her second Olympiad, she became a Woman Candidate Master, the first step towards Grand Master. Earlier this year Phiona graduated from St. Mbuga Vocational Secondary School. She is now applying to college and hopes to become a doctor or lawyer. We’d like to share with you some of the images from her incredible journey to becoming a world-class chess player.
