Actor
David
Oyelowo,
who
will
be
seen
in
his
new
movie
Queen
of
Katwe
feels
extremely
pleased
about
his
part,
as
the
film
virtually
upholds
the
dark
continent
and
shows
Africa
in
a
pragmatic
light.
"I've
done
a
film
in
Uganda
before
called
'The
Last
King
of
Scotland'
which
I
really
enjoyed
doing.
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
film,
but
that
film
along
with
a
number
of
other
films
have
highlighted
the
negative
side
of
what
goes
down
on
the
African
continent,"
"And
that's
because
that's
a
truism
but
what
I
haven't
seen
enough
of
is
the
positive
side
of
what
Africa
is
and
represents," Oyelowo
said.
The
actor
even
calls
the
movie
Queen
of
Katwe
a
"huge
move
forward" for
portraying
Africa
in
a
positive
light
and
praises
director
Mira
Nair,
who
had
stayed
almost
two
decades
in
Uganda
for
understanding
the
life
and
people
there
completely.
"I
do
think
that
films
have
ingrained
in
them
the
perspective
from
which
they
are
told
and
if
that
perspective
is
an
outside
perspective
inevitably
it
comes
with
whatever
bias
is
tied
to
that
perspective,"
David
explained.
David
Oyelowo
also
added,
"I
think
Mira
Nair
being
someone
who
has
lived
in
Uganda
for
27
years,
the
level
and
authenticity
and
knowledge
she
is
able
to
bring
of
course
differs
entirely
to
a
guy
from
Burbank,
California."
