The film offers a window into a community we in the U.S. rarely see on screen, where the stakes are permanently high and, particularly, where the op- tions for women and girls are especially stark. Nyong’o brings real energy to her portrayal of Mutesi’s fierce mother Harriet, who relentlessly fights for her children and also fights with Phiona’s older sister, Night; Harriet is desperate with fear as she watches Night’s desire to be cared for make her easy prey for a young man who is clear- ly exploiting her. The film also insightfully portrays Harriet’s understandable suspicion of Ka- tende’s intentions and the ways in which Phiona’s burgeoning ambitions threaten to leave her family behind and challenge her own ability to forge an identity. Before chess, the children do not realize what they are missing; unlike most underdog stories, this one grapples with real ques- tions about whether and how it is good to teach people to reach for things they hadn’t known to desire. The film also depicts how even a country of underdogs cre- ates hierarchies; it is painful to watch even the Katwe children recoil at Phiona’s body odor, and the children they compete with wince at the prospect of shaking their hands. Yet, in Katende’s way of thinking, “sometimes the place you are used to is not the place where you belong.” He makes a good and sensitive case for that view in Phiona’s case, and it is inspiring to watch her and the other children awaken to their power and also grapple with experiences of losing. Nair and this talented group of artists do good work in em- ploying this underdog story to awaken in audiences a hunger to know people about whom we also had not thought to inquire. One neglected story at a time. Darleen Ortega is a judge on the Oregon Court of Appeals and the first woman of color to serve in that capacity. Her mov- ie review column Opinionated Judge appears regularly in The Portland Observer.
