Oscar (TM) winner Lupita Nyong’o also stars in the film, directed by Mira Nair.
QUEEN OF KATWE
QUEEN OF KATWE is currently in limited release, but will be in theaters everywhere on September 30! Everything I’ve read about this film, and the stars, has been positive and I feel like it will be a heartwarming, family film. I’ll be taking my family to see it on opening weekend. Until then, check out some of these new clips.
“Queen of Katwe” 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.

In the spirit of QUEEN OF KATWE, HSN is excited to partner with Soular Backpacks! For every Soular Backpack purchased, a solar-powered backpack is given to a child in Africa to help study at night. Currently, children are using kerosene lamps, which can cause health complications. Soular Backpacks use natural energy from the sun during a child’s walk home from school.
