Can you do big things?
From such a small place?
Don't think about such things...
Why not?
You'll be disappointed.
Hey Phiona! How is your life?!
It is fine.
Young girl, come inside!
What is your name?
Phiona.
Could you please show Fiona how to move the pieces?
In chess, the small one can become the big one.
Chess helps us solve problems.
It teaches us to make a plan.
Use your minds...
and you will all find safety.
Why are you letting her win?!
I'm not letting her!
You can see eight moves ahead?
- Checkmate. - Checkmate. - Checkmate.
She won!
You could be the best in all of Uganda!
God, how can I become a champion?!
Sometimes the place you are used to
is not the place you belong.
You belong where you believe you belong.
Where is that for you?
None of your sneak attacks...
This is NOT the ghetto.
I don't need to sneak. Checkmate.
This year's gold medalist, Phiona Mutesi.
My children are blessed
because they have a mother who will never give up on them.
Are you my daughter?
Yes mom, I am.
Coach, you told us to make a plan.
But I fear things will never change.
What matters is when you reset the pieces.
She's winning, she's winning!
And play AGAIN.
