equal footing with people who
enjoy privileges they cannot
even imagine.
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.
