When he said "but I love my wife", I got goosebumps.

Wait...I am really appalled with this comment section. Not that the majority contains very racist and insulting comments (like 99% of youtube videos). But that this film was based on an ACTUAL EVENT. Although, I know I am a history fanatic, but does NO ONE heard of the story about Seretse Khama? The film is based about the life of the future Botswana president in the 1940s who was living in the U.K at the time. Botswana at the time was under British rule and Khama belonged to one of the most powerful tribal family in the country. He was expected to return to Botswana and succeed his father as the chief of his family. Until, he met a British lady called Ruth Williams and which he makes a hard decision to marry her despite all other circumstances. This romance film rather depicts the struggle of Khama and Ruth their fight to be accepted by the people of Botswana and against racist political system of neighbouring countries such as South Africa at the time. The struggle was truly a magnificent story as the couple refused to become successor of the family's "chief" but instead created the newly independent country- Botswana and broke away from British rule. For many years, Khama and his wife have managed to boost Botswana's economic growth and stabilised any political tension. And to even to this day, Botswana remained one of Africa's most peaceful and richest countries as Khama's son- Ian Khama is the current president of the country, continuing the magnificent legacy of Sereste Khama. Before, people start call this film unoriginal or cliche, why not try spend a little time researching what the film is about? Thumbs up so people REALLY KNOW WHAT THIS FILM IS ABOUT!!

Why they always make Africa as country. African is 54 countries with different culture and ethnicity.

This is based off true story. I lived in Botswana and remember being taught about this in school.

[tetebyawo]

everyone talking about hate comments but i keep scrolling and i aint seeing none..

[susettehorspool]

I met him—Sir Seretse Khama. I was a Peace Corps volunteer in Botswana in the mid-'70s. My Motswana supervisor was a good friend of his, and when Sir Seretse came up to Maun for a visit, he introduced me. Nice guy. Honorable. The Batswana loved him. But this was long after the events depicted in this film. My understanding then was that he was not King of Botswana, but the heir to the chieftainship of its largest tribe—the Bomangwato people. He gave that up in order to become the first President of the country after British rule ended there. That was in 1966. I served in 1974–76.

He turns out to be a really efficient leader. Running a powerful economy in Africa and successfully fight against apartheid. You sir, deserve a thumbs up. Two thumbs up #Respect

That last part: The sun setting, the way they're sitting and what they're saying is so special.

[amandajulie]

The majority of the people in these comments need help.

[kgofi]

Sir seretse khama and ruth. it's nice to see a movie from a true story of the First president of my country

[vHumboldt]

I just came across his name on a video on Botswana. I'm from Argentina and we seldom study African History, except for some generalities. I have NO WORDS to express my admiration for this guy and all that he did for his country. He's an equal to the great men and women of this World. Blessings from Buenos Aires.

Wonderful to see Sereste Khamas story being told! Botswana is such a wonderful country which much to be proud of.

[rebecca]

Am I the only one who isn't looking for signs of racism or propaganda, and just really wants to see the movie because it looks good? 👀 😪

[papajohnsdimsum]

I am quite happy to see this story being told. It is quite an inspirational one and one that I wish had been told far sooner. Sir Seretse and Ruth Khama are a symbol over how people can look beyond skin colour and find love and humanity in people they had been taught to see as each other as an "other" over such stupid parameters. It's an inspiration that we can have as a society in the USA, Canada, the UK and across the world as a whole. I'd highly also suggest that people visit Botswana, which is an amazing country with an amazing people.

That said, I'm still cringing at the historical butchery present in the film when you know that the reason they were exiled was due to the apartheid South African government and not due to "Hahaha we need to keep the Empire!".

[sydneyferriell]

despite all these negative comments, this looks like a really good movie and i would love to see this

[TwistedEllipsis]

It's a film about Botswana's independence, but they're so focused on the romance, it never gets mentioned by name!

[TiciTotyTony]

I don't understand why people are saying this a propaganda movie like interracial relationships are a and thing. Actual that shows that these people are still living in. the 1940's and believe that people can't love who they plus this actually happend! this is a true story! You people are truly pathetic 😂

[sarfycrave]

I searched long for the negative comments y'all are talking about! Found none and I'm glad. I just finished watching the film and oh how wonderful and inspiring it was.

Bless the people of Botswana❤

[HowardWimshurst]

i'm sick and tired of these comments trying to divide us. We are all human beings!
