A United Kingdom
In 1947 England, Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo) & Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike) meet, fall in love, & marry. Based on a true story, he is a future African king & she is an English white woman. Together, they face issues of racism, banishment, separation, acceptance, & colonial exploitation. It's an amazing love story amidst the birth of a nation, Botswana. Photos of the real people depicted & their life summaries run at the end of the film.
