There are lots of movies I’m excited about this summer (I’m looking at you, Finding Dory<\/em>!), but there’s a movie that will be released in theaters this coming September that has definitely piqued my interest: Disney’s Queen of Katwe<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Queen of Katwe<\/em> tells the true story of Phiona Mutesi, a girl who sold corn on the streets of rural Uganda until her world rapidly changed when she was introduced to the game of chess as a 10-year-old. With support from her family and community, she discovers with the confidence and determination needed to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion. The trailer was just released today and it gave me serious chills. You can see the Queen of Katwe trailer here:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\n“The size of your dreams must always exceed your current capacity to achieve them.” – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Nobel Peace Prize Winner and President of Liberia<\/p>\nMy daughter really liked that quote from the beginning of the trailer.<\/p>\nA movie about an adolescent girl coming into her own by discovering and owning her talent and changing perceptions in the process? Yes, please! And the part where the mother asks, “Are you my daughter?” I’m already verklempt.<\/p>\nQueen of Katwe<\/em> is right up my cinematic alley, and my daughter’s. She loved the trailer, too, and we’re both really excited to see this.<\/p>\nIt stars David Oyelowo, Oscar\u00ae winner Lupita Nyong\u2019o (love her!), and newcomer Madina Nalwanga.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5192 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe568c672d8505d.jpg\" alt=\"QueenOfKatwe568c672d8505d\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\nAs if that isn’t enough, Queen of Katwe<\/em> is directed by Mira Nair, whom I’ve loved since 2001’s Monsoon Wedding<\/em>, which was released in 2001. She is a fantastic story teller, and I think this is one story that I think we can all benefit from hearing and seeing. Speaking of seeing, I think the Queen of Katwe poster is so eye-catching and unique.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5194\" src=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65-692x1024.jpg\" alt=\"QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65\" width=\"600\" height=\"888\" srcset=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65-692x1024.jpg 692w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65-203x300.jpg 203w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65-768x1136.jpg 768w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65-300x444.jpg 300w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/QueenOfKatwe5730df557db65.jpg 1014w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\nYou can like Queen of Katwe on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/QueenOfKatwe\/\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a> and follow on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/queenofkatwe\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\nMedia courtesy of Walt Disney Pictures.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\nYou May Also Like:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/movies-in-2016-flicks-my-family-cant-wait-to-see\/\" target=\"_blank\">2016 flicks my family can\u2019t wait to see<\/a><\/p>\nPrior Post:<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/honoring-our-moms-this-mothers-day\/\">Fun facts about how we\u2019re honoring our moms this Mother\u2019s Day<\/a><\/p>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"27.799999999999997\">\nDon\u2019t miss a post!
