The Queen of Katwe

Tim Crothers - story of the deep poverty of slums of Kampala, Uganda, and a program established to bring soccer and then chess in to inspire the children. A young girl joins the chess group and is a natural. Quickly learning and becoming very proficient, wins local tournaments and does well at an international one in Siberia. Could do more but limited funds hamper progress. Very inspiring tale.
