A United Kingdom (2016)
Ende der 1940er Jahre erhält das afrikanische Land Botswana plötzlich international große Aufmerksamkeit: Der Prinz des Staates, Seretse Khama, verliebt sich auf einer Englandreise in die Londoner Büroangestellte Ruth Williams. Aus einer anfänglichen Romanze entwickeln sich schnell Heiratspläne, was in der jeweiligen Heimat der beiden Liebenden für einen Aufschrei in der Bevölkerung sorgt. Seretse und Ruth stellen sich gegen den Willen ihrer Familien, des britischen Empire und der Obrigkeit Botswanas und beginnen ihren Kampf für Unabhängigkeit in Zeiten der Apartheid, um schließlich aus dem gesellschaftlich auferlegten Exil in ihr Königreich zurückkehren zu können.
