This movie needs to listed in movies about chess. it shows young people there other ways to get out of proverty besides basket ball and football. you do not need physical abilities but mental ability also can get you out. You may not always be able to see a way out but there is if never give up. That is what this movie shows.

take care,

Apparently based on a true story, this movie is really not about Chess or poverty. It’s a quiet moment suggesting additional alternatives to the "life" (and death) in some disenfranchised communities. It’s also saying something about the absence of fathers in said communities, the redemption of one man’s soul and how one person can make a difference in a world that truly needs heroes and role models by the millions.
