COMING OF AGE BRILLIANT MINDS
MONOCHROMATIC FAMILY TRUE STORY

A Ugandan girl sees her world rapidly change after being introduced to the game of chess.

I enjoy inspirational true stories about people with talent who are discovered and helped by others to overcome obstacles to achieve something they may never otherwise would have. This movie has a perfect mix of chance and destiny colliding and you can't help but cheer for Phiona (Madina Nalwanga). Beautifully written, directed, and acted.
