Katwe is a slum in Uganda where the titular hero lives. It turns out that Phiona, despite her harsh upbringing is something of a chess prodigy. Think of this movie as the African 'Searching for Bobby Fisher' without any of the niceties of the Upper West Side of New York.
It's well done. It's Disney. When you say Chess prodigy in a slum, you kind of know what you are going to get but since it was such a different setting it was enjoyable to watch.
And I kept thinking if they can make not one but two movies based on chess, certainly there is room for a fencing movie out there.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
