I’ve been excited for the Queen of Katwe<\/a> film for a while now, but now more than ever I find myself drawn to this heartwarming true story of how a young girl goes from selling corn on the streets of Uganda to becoming an international chess champion with the support she receives from her family and community.<\/p>\n

Disney released new Queen of Katwe featurette today that includes new footage from the film and interviews with stars David Oyelowo and Lupita Nyong\u2019o. I thought I couldn’t love Lupita Nyong’o more, but I was wrong. You can watch her and the whole featurette here:<\/p>\n

<\/iframe><\/p>\nThe movie is about more than chess, of course. It tells the tale of a girl who finds the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream and overcome a great deal of difficulty. I’m confident that it will have a huge impact on not only my daughter, but tweens and teens everywhere, in large because it is based a true story.<\/p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/queen-of-katwe-featurette\/index-2\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5552\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5552 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/index.jpg\" alt=\"Queen of Katwe poster\" width=\"324\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/index.jpg 324w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/index-203x300.jpg 203w, http:\/\/betweenusparents.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/index-300x444.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px\" \/><\/a>I learned from the featurette that director Mira Nair had lived in Uganda. I then did a little research and learned that she met her current husband there. Mira Nair is of course an incredible director, but after learning of her strong connection to Uganda, I have even more faith in her ability to tell this story in the perfect way. Also, I loved learning that the real life Phiona Mutesi, the heroine of the film, was on set.<\/p>\nQueen of Katwe opens in theatres on September 23rd<\/span><\/span>.
