Queen of Katwe<\/a><\/i> tells the true story of a poor girl from Uganda who becomes a chess-playing champion with the help of a Christian missionary. For the most part, the marketing around the film has shied away from the \u201cfaith-based\u201d aspects of the story, and it remains to be seen whether the film itself will get into them in any detail \u2014 but as of today we have a new featurette that features the real-life missionary and his prot\u00e9g\u00e9, and yes, it includes a brief nod to the missionary\u2019s faith.<\/p>\n

Here is the featurette, which is very similar to the secular \u2018Labor of Love\u2019 featurette that I posted yesterday but has some new faith-oriented bits:<\/p>\n

Queen of Katwe<\/i> director Mira Nair previously made a 13-minute documentary about the missionary, Robert Katende, called A Fork a Spoon and a Knight<\/i>:<\/p>\n
