Laugh at its wry humour, swoon at its romance and cheer its moments of triumph!
This true-life romance between an English office clerk and the future king of Botswana is a beautifully filmed gem, shot on locations in the UK and Botswana.
Rosamund Pike plays Ruth Williams, a clerk from Blackheath who is swept off her feet in 1947 by handsome law student Seretse Khama (David Oyelowo).
Ruth doesn't know that Seretse is an African king in waiting and when he proposes, having duly explained his true identity, she imagines a new life away from the misty drizzle of London: a life to be taken "moment by moment - together".
But when the news of this high-profile black-and-white union reaches neighbouring South Africa, whose National party is busy enshrining apartheid in law, the cash-strapped British authorities move first to forbid and then to undermine the marriage, scared of alienating their supplier of cheap gold and uranium.
A story that deserves to be told.
