Fahim, the Little Chess Prince / Fahim (2019) - Trailer (English Subs)
The new chess movie "Fahim, the Little Chess Prince" starring Gerard Depardieu was released in French cinemas on October 16.

It's an inspiring story of a young refugee who became a French Champion.

Directed by : Pierre François Martin-Laval
Produced by : Waiting for Cinéma
Genre: Fiction - Runtime: 1 h 47 min
French release: 16/10/2019
Production year: 2019

Forced to flee his native Bangladesh, eight year-old chess prodigy Fahim arrives in Paris with his father. Refused asylum, as illegal immigrants they spiral downwards into homelessness and desperation.
By a stroke of luck, Fahim is introduced to one of France’s top chess coaches, Sylvain (real name: Xavier Parmentier), who tutors him and gives him a sense of purpose - his struggles on the chessboard mirroring both his victories and his crushing defeats in his battle for a normal life.
Fahim then rises through local and national tournaments only to be crowned France’s Under-12 Chess Champion in 2012.
The film tells the story of a child who learns to live without his mother and without his father, far from home, from his roots and his language. Fahim’s tale is not only a moving account of the grim realities that underlie a supposedly caring society, but also a heartwarming testimony to a father’s determination, the kindness of strangers, and one small boy’s courageous will to succeed.
