Empowering Through Emotion: The Voice of Dissent against Gender Biasness as Delineated in the Film Adaptation of The Queen of Katwe

Abstract

Without literature, it is impractical to imagine the genesis of cinema. Cinema is considered a subset of literature and has long been one of the most fascinating academic subjects with a profound impact on human psychology. Film adaptations can take several forms, ranging from precise replicas of the original source to innovative story telling. Biographies have had a major influence on movies in recent years. These book-to-film adaptations share the real-life accounts of strong women who demanded positive change as well as the stories of trailblazing women who influenced history. This research paper unveils the brilliance of a modern masterpiece, The Queen of Katwe, a book that has gardened widespread acclaim and seamlessly transformed into the cinematic gem. The film uses a moving narrative to spread the message about gender equality, women’s empowerment, and girls’ education throughout the world. This study explores the film’s narrative strategies, portrayal of major themes, and how well it works as an agent of social change.
