Opening in theatres on Sept. 30, the Mira Nair-directed film Queen of Katwe centers around 10-year-old Phiona Mutesi and her family who live in the impoverished area of Katwe in Kampala, Uganda. Phiona finds joy in the game of chess and has her sights on becoming an international chess champion.
Based on a screenplay by William Wheeler, Queen of Katwe is supported by a motion picture soundtrack, which the Grammy Award-winning Alicia Keys contributes to. Titled “Back To Life,” the song can be purchased now on iTunes and streamed below.
