Synopsis

A UNITED KINGDOM is based
on extraordinary true events. In
1947, Seretse Khama, the King
of Botswana, fell in love with Ruth
Williams, a London office worker.
Their marriage was opposed not
only by their respective families
but also by the British and
South African governments. But
Seretse and Ruth defied family,
apartheid and Empire – their love
triumphed over every obstacle
flung in their path and in so doing
they transformed their Nation and
inspired the world.
