INDEPENDENCE TRAILER: Rosamund Pike and David Oyelowo star in A United Kingdom
TO CELEBRATE the 50th anniversary of Botswana Independence, a new trailer for A United Kingdom has been released.

A United Kingdom, directed by Amma Asante (Belle and based on the book Colour Bar by Susan Williams, also stars Rosamund Pike and tells the incredible true story of Seretse Khama and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments.
