A United Kingdom – Ihre Liebe veränderte die Welt (2016)

A United Kingdom – Ihre Liebe veränderte die Welt: Directed by Amma Asante. With David Oyelowo, Rosamund Pike, Tom Felton, Jack Davenport. The story of King Seretse Khama of Botswana and how his loving but controversial marriage to a British white woman, Ruth Williams, put his kingdom into political and diplomatic turmoil.

“6.8 does not do justice to a film that tells a story of how love can overcome boundaries. In this case, this is one of the rare African stories that we tend to get to hear about. For a long time, stories to do with Africa have been about disease, poverty and undernourishment. Asanteu0026#39;s take on this film does indeed tell the viewer that there is more to Africa than what meets the eye.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI believe that this film should set a precedent for more African stories to be told . This film tells you that there is a lot more than just about Mandela. There is need to learn about other Africans namely Jomo Kenyatta, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, John Chilembwe and many others. These are perhaps some of the few names that I can think of. I commend Asante for taking a bold stand in producing a film of a figure(s) that most people out there may have not heard.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFor those of you that may want to get a different side to Africa, I would recommend that you begin by watching u0026quot;A United Kingdomu0026quot;. In my view, it is one of the more decent films of 2016/17 combined.”
