Description

David Oyelowo (Selma) and Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) star in this inspiring true story of the forbidden love between the King of Botswana and a white English woman in the 1940s. When they decided to marry just as apartheid was being introduced into South Africa, it caused an international uproar. But their passionate romance triumphed over every obstacle and changed the course of African history.

    We liked the movie because it has an accurate historical background and was inspirational. Gives hope for the future of the world. The scene on the cover was dear in the movie - so naturally joyful.

    I really enjoyed this movie. It was inspirational and heart warming! It was slow at the beginning of the movie but worth pushing throught it. I would recommend it.

    Perhaps because I have become besotted with Botswana and it's people and wildlife I found this movie fascinating. I've been to Botswana 7 times and part of my heart lives there! The acting was good and believable.

    I truly enjoyed this movie. It takes a great deal of character and emotional stamina to deal with these social stigmas. I felt the movie had great character roles and was beautifully written. It also presented me with a reminder that there is still much too be done when it comes to racism. Where for this reason, I will speak up when necessary. As should we all. Humanity should be our goal. Not the color of our skin. Great film!
  • Great acting, but horrible film
