| Summary |
This is the true story of Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo), King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams (Rosamund Pike), the London office worker he married in 1947 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. Official Selection at the **Toronto International Film Festival**. *"It's a tender love story that never goes soft on its provocations. It's a defiant cry from the heart."* - Peter Travers, ***Rolling Stone*** *"A rich, stirring look at one of modern society's most enduring -- and yes, inspirational -- marriages, underpinned by political machinations that remain all too relevant."* - Kate Erbland, ***indieWire*** |
