Queen of Katwe
Lupita Nyong'O is more than capable of overshadowing everyone in a frame, but you see her reserve throughout the narrative as her daughter(character) Phiona Mutesi shines. Mira Nair follows the young girl's journey with utmost care, tracing her feeling of shame and misery in the beginning, to the buds of her arrogance and over-confidence when she realises how smart and intelligent she is. You might dismiss this as just another one those underdog stories, but it knows just how to tug at your heartstrings (pardon the cliché). The coach and his relationships to his trainees is nothing short of paternal but he is also like a beloved elder brother whom the children can trust intrinsically. You'll fight to hold a non-teary face when you see the children sleeping huddled together on the floor rather on their allotted beds in the chess championship inside the 'clean' campus, and you can't help clicking your tongue when Gloria is too upset at getting defeated, and you can hardly not smile from ear to ear when Phiona finally wins the coveted Rwabushenyi title.

I think if we get a bunch of good chess players and make them decide the working of an entire country, they might pull off doing something that human eyes have never seen and frog feet have never touched.

Got the short Vlad and Danny meme comic done! Kinda a bit lazy at the end, but this meme is already pretty simple and the layout was not that simple, AND helped me get some background practice in.
Also, for you chess nerds, I am referencing an actual historical game here. Let's see if you can point out the inaccuracy. :D
Anyway, enjoy!!
