Description
British actor David Oyelowo joins Peter Travers on 'Popcorn' to talk about his new movie, "A United Kingdom." It’s a true story in which Oyelowo plays an African king, Seretse Khama of Botswana. The King caused a scandal in 1948 when he married Ruth Williams - played by Rosamond Pike - a white woman who worked as a London office clerk. Though race relations have improved in the 21st century, David relates a harrowing tale of how he and his white wife Jessica experienced racial hatred first hand and how she came to his rescue.
