This was one of the most underrated Disney movies ever. It might have the tropes of a sports film/underdog film, but the story and acting were good, and the cast looked exactly like their real life counterparts. - @Friday, September 21, 2018 1:44 AM

This is one of the best and most beautiful movies I have ever watched. It littery dropped me to tears. Now to reply to those comments below. I have been in Uganda 5 times. Amazing place, an amazing culture, its a place you will always wanna visit over and over again. I adapted to their way of living, learnt one of their language Kiganda which they very much use in the movie. They speak English everywhere especially the youth and I mean everywhere even in the villages. It is so full of life. Happiness comes from within, they truly know how to keep it at its best. That place is just full of life, worth visiting especially if you wanna cleanse your soul. For those tourist maniacs, You will get way way way way way more than you need. Plus weekends don't exist there. The party life is so incomparable to anywhere in the world and I have been to lots of places. So party till you die, just make sure you pick you grave before hitting the maniac button. - @Monday, July 2, 2018 8:54 PM

You could tell it's Disney just by listening to the soundtrack - @Sunday, June 17, 2018 9:01 PM

Aaron Barlow

To critics, yes she's not a strong player by international or even local club standards but she is by Ugandan standards. It's about her struggle against overwhelming odds and intense poverty, devotion and love for family. If you don't get the feels from this movie you're a robot. - @Wednesday, May 2, 2018 7:41 AM

I am trying to find the name of the song that plays at around the 21:20 mark on Netflix... it's playing in the background when she is playing chess with her brother. Does anyone know the song? I don't think it is in the soundtrack. :-( - @Sunday, April 22, 2018 10:06 PM

I took the time to watch this movie and must honestly say that it was beyond beautiful. Not only is it a true story, but an exceptionally emotional story as well. Racial bias is actually evoked into the movie, however, not Black/White but more so classed. To those that haven't seen it, or must always tend to find some racial curbs to every event and movie, I ask that you watch this one for yourselves. It's a beautiful movie. Thank you. - @Thursday, March 8, 2018 12:31 PM

How come I'm only now in 2018 hearing about this movie? And only because I was looking at trailers for a different film? This looks like an amazing and uplifting story. I WILL be buying this. - @Wednesday, March 7, 2018 6:37 PM

This movie was robbed of an #Oscar!!!! The storyline, the cast, the scenery just truly impeccable. If the movie was filmed in europe, with the same storyline and an all white cast of they would've crushed the box office and won hella awards. - @Wednesday, March 7, 2018 1:06 AM
