A United Kingdom (2017)

Truly fascinating story: white British woman marries the black king-in-waiting of a small African nation, and no one's happy about it. Her family disowns her, the British government tries to break it up, and their new African community does what it can to shun the new wife. It's both interesting and moving.

So, why did they go and ruin it by shooting it in the style of a TV movie? The handling felt underbaked and not worthy of the subject.
