Other than Non-Stop, the rest of her appearances took place through voice-acting in Disney films until Mira Nair’s film adaptation of Ugandan chess player Phiona Mutesi’s story premiered on the big screen.įrom the start, Queen of Katwe jumps back to 2007 and shows how the residents of the slums of Katwe (Kampala, Uganda) deal with their lives: in dire poverty, lack of education, living everyday to literally survive, and feeling like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. In the case of Phiona Mutesi (Nalwanga), she works long hours selling vegetables in the filthy streets and markets for her widowed mother, Harriet (Nyong’o), to pay for food and clothing for her two younger brothers. It’s been a while since we have seen Lupita Nyong’s face on the big screen following her Academy Award victory for 12 Years A Slave. Cast: Madina Nalwanga, David Oyelowo, Lupita Nyong’o, Esther Tebandeke, Ethan Nazario Lubega, Martin Kabanza, Taryn Kyaze
