David Oyelowo & Rosamund Pike in UK Trailer for 'A United Kingdom'

Written by

“No man is free who is not master of himself.” Fox & Pathe have debuted the official UK trailer for a film called A United Kingdom, starring David Oyelowo and Rosamund Pike as a married couple. The film tells the true story of Seretse Khama, the king of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker that he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and their governments. This isn’t the only film this year about a controversial interracial marriage, as Jeff Nichols’ Loving also tells of a story of a marriage that upset many people. But love is love, and that’s what is most important. The cast in this one includes Tom Felton, Laura Carmichael, Jack Davenport, Charlotte Hope, and Jessica Oyelowo. As usual, Oyelowo looks like he’s giving another magnificent performance. ›››
