Oscar-nominated and award winning actor David Oyelowo chatted with Erica Campbell and GRIFF about his new film, “United Kingdom.” He struggles to pick a favorite role out of the many he has played, from Martin Luther King Jr in “Selma,” to his latest; the King Of Botswana in “United Kingdom.” The film tells the story of the King’s relationship with a British white woman, which was very controversial at that time, in the 1940s.
He talks about meeting the descendants of the King of Botswana, and shooting in his real life house and other locations, to help him tell the true 70-year-old story that the film deals with.
