UUFR free movie slated for Friday

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Rappahannock offers monthly movies for the community on the the second Friday at 7 p.m. The movie, popcorn and soft drinks are free. You are welcome to bring your own dinner, drinks and snacks.

On Friday, October 11, the movie “A United Kingdom” (PG-13) will be featured. It is based on extraordinary true events.

In 1947, Seretse Khama, the King of Botswana, met Ruth Williams, a London office worker. They were a perfect match, yet their proposed marriage was challenged not only by their families but by the British and South African governments. The latter had recently introduced the policy of apartheid and found the notion of a biracial couple ruling a neighboring country intolerable. South Africa threatened the British: either thwart the couple or be denied access to South African uranium and gold and face the risk of South Africa invading Botswana. (Rotten Tomatoes)

The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Rappahannock is at 366 James Wharf Road, White Stone.
