Belle (Mbatha-Raw)
is the daughter of a black slave and a white father, who loved both. She is
raised by her rich white aristocratic family in England, who love her but she
is not allowed to dine with them, especially if there are guests. The she meets
a white man who fights against the slave trade.
The elite cast of British actors add pondus to this based-on-a-true-story film of ethnicity, gender and class.
