Queen Of Katwe is now playing in theaters and a DVD release date is estimated for January 2017. Being a Disney movie, it could be interesting.

Queen Of Katwe (2016)

For a child growing up in Katwe, a ghetto of Uganda, there aren't a lot of options in life. For Phiona, who has lost her father and her big brother, and whose mother relies on selling vegetables in the market to keep a roof over their heads, that's especially true. When Phiona catches her brother sneaking off and playing chess, a whole new world of options opens up to her. She excels at the game and starts to envision a way out of Katwe for her family.

Meh... watching paint dry is the nearest equivalent to watching people play chess. I'll go have burning slivers of bamboo shoved under my fingernails, now...
