Queen of Katwe

"Chess helps us solve all problems."

"In chess the small one can become the big one."
[Young girl showing Phiona how to play chess]

[watching through a whole in a wall as children take out a chess board to play]
Robert Katende: "Young girl, come inside. What is your name?"
Phiona: "Phiona."
[to one of the young girls]
Robert Katende: "Could you please show Phiona how to move the pieces?"

Neighbor: "Hey, Phiona, how is your life?"
Phiona: "It is fine."

Phiona: "Mama, can you do big things from such a small place?"
Harriet: "Don't think about such things."
Phiona: "Why not?"
Harriet: "You will be disappointed."
