電影由《雨季的婚禮》曾奪得威尼斯影展金獅獎的米拉奈兒執導，一部關於烏干達貧民區少女，邁向西洋棋后的傳記故事，改編自體育記者提姆寇瑟的傳記小說。奧斯卡最佳女配角露琵塔尼詠歐主演。

十歲的費歐娜住在貧民窟，貧窮讓她感到絕望，直到遇見來教當地孩子下西洋棋的羅伯。在羅伯的指導下，她很快展露過人天份，在地區比賽獲得冠軍。然而，來自家庭的壓力，無法改變的生活困境，對自我能力的反覆質疑，都成為繼續下棋的阻力。在這條路上，她究竟能夠走多遠？

Witness a celebration of the human spirit in Disney’s Queen of Katwe, the story of a Ugandan girl’s life which changes forever when she discovers her amazing talent for chess. Screening followed by a discussion with Phiona Mutesi, whose vibrant true story is the subject of the film. Hop over to Kidseum after for a chess demonstration with the Queen of Katwe herself!
