A United Kingdom

In 1948, the African nation of Botswana was still the British protectorate of Bechuanaland--and its royal heir apparent, Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo), was a law student in London. At that time, however, Seretse and a white Englishwoman named Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike) fell deeply in love...and they would find their union facing bitter public resentments and insidious challenges from the diplomatic corps of two continents. Remarkable historical romance from director Amma Assante (”Belle”) co-stars Jack Davenport, Tom Felton, Laura Carmichael. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
