On today’s review-only episode of the show, host Tom Breen and New Haven Independent staff writer Allan Appel a review of A United Kingdom, Amma Asante’s new based-on-a-true-story movie about an interracial relationship between an African prince and an English clerk in the 1950s that had surprisingly profound international political consequences, coming at a time of the collapse of the British Empire, the rise of African national independence movements, and the paranoid simmer of the Cold War.
