There are many various positive stories to be told about Uganda but the country has no microphone of its own on the global stage with which to tell its stories. Today, this has become ahead of several things and sources of various ideas, hence its creativity that has resulted in the innovation of various goods plus services.įor the first time, I am so impressed by how the media is portraying Uganda in a positive way. ‘ Katwe’ is a word in the local Luganda language which means – ‘a small head’. Katwe is situated approximately 2km from the city center, and it’s popular as a center of great creativity, hence explaining its name.

The movie features Madina Nalwanga a newcomer film star featured as Mutesi together with Lupita Nyong’o an Oscar-winning actress as her mother, as well as David Oyelowo featuring as Mutesi’s chess-teacher and soccer player who turned into a missionary. This movie will be shown on 9 th November following its grand opening this September in the United States in September. A movie being shot in my own home country’s capital – Kampala very impressive! This Disney movie, entitled ‘Queen of Katwe,’ is centered on Phiona Mutesi’s who at around nine years of age back in 2005 attended sports out-reach program within Katwe one of the suburbs of Kampala simply to take one cup of porridge she found herself attracted in the realm of checkmates as well as knights. I was really thrilled with what I watched. However, this weekend as I was chatting with Jerry the developer of my website taking about how visitors that travel to some of the African countries are alleged to be at higher risk, he did share with me a video-link showing a trailer of the movie ‘Queen of Katwe’. Ever since Out of Africa, the movie based on Danish noblewoman Karen Blixen who spent her life running a coffee plantation in Kenya with her love affair with the aristocratic big-game hunter Denys Finch Hatton, there has not been any movie that depicts Africa.
