A UNITED KINGDOM tells the true story of Seretse Khama, King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1947 in the face of fierce opposition from their families and the British and South African governments.
A UNITED KINGDOM is directed by Asante (Belle) from a screenplay by Guy Hibbert (Eye in the Sky), based on the book Colour Bar by Susan Williams. The cast is led by David Oyelowo (Selma) as Seretse Khama, with Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) playing his future wife Ruth Williams. Other cast includes Jack Davenport (Pirates of the Caribbean), Terry Pheto (Mandela), Tom Felton (Harry Potter), Arnold Oceng (Adulthood), Jack Lowden ('71) and Laura Carmichael (Downton Abbey).
The film received World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on 9 September 2016 and its European premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on 5 October 2016.

Needs to be unexpired. Tickets can come available. I myself had a work thing I couldn't get out of and had to hand tickets back on the day of screening last week. Plus, I've had tickets at last minute also, due to them being handed back.
