MISS UGANDA UK ATTENDS QUEEN OF KATWE SCREENING IN LONDON

Miss Uganda UK™ were invited by Walt Disney Studios to a special screening of the movie Queen of Katwe at Picturehouse Central, Piccadilly on Monday 10th October. The evening was in association with Plan International ahead of the International Day of the Girl on 11/10/2016 (www.plan-uk.org/standupforgirls)

We encourage everyone to go and see the Queen of Katwe which opens on 21/10/2016. It is inspiring, raw, funny, beautiful and heart-warming.

Thank you Walt Disney Studios for the special invitation and thank you Tendo Nagenda, Mira Nair, Lupita Nyong'o, David Oyelowo, cast and crew for bringing us this wonderful UGANDAN movie.

"Queen of Katwe is the vibrant true story of a young Ugandan girl, Phiona Mutesi selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess by Robert Katende a soccer player turned missionary. As a result of the support she receives from her mother Harriet, family and community, Phiona is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion."
