- 'Queen of Katwe' says anyone can realise their dreams: Mira Nair
Q. And Lupito Nyong'o? A. Lupita Nyong'o who plays Phiona's mother, spent a lot of time with Phiona's real mother. And Robert Ketende who was Phiona's real life chess coach, spent a lot of time with us on the sets. In fact, Ketende was our chess consultant. He was on the sets everyday. He taught all the kids in our film how to play chess. Every game of chess is authentic. We haven't faked even one move.
