About
The inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments. 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.
A forbidden romance between a Botswanan prince and a British clerk ignites a diplomatic firestorm that threatens to fracture an empire. You will feel the crushing weight of systemic prejudice as two people fight to protect a marriage the world refuses to recognize.
