Anthropology Pizza and Movie Night
-----
Join the Department of Anthropology to watch QUEEN OF KATWE while enjoying pizza and popcorn!
The discussion will be moderated by Professors Sherine Hamdy and Chris Lowman.
About the movie:
Living in the slum of Katwe in Kampala, Uganda, is a constant struggle for 10-year-old
Phiona (Madina Nalwanga) and her family. Her world changes one day when she meets
Robert Katende (David Oyelowo), a missionary who teaches children how to play chess.
Phiona becomes fascinated with the game and soon becomes a top player under Katende's
guidance. Her success in local competitions and tournaments opens the door to a bright
future and a golden chance to escape from a life of poverty.
