In this inspirational costume drama, Michael Apted (49 Up) recounts a period in British history sure to be unfamiliar to most Americans. In fact, his eye-opening biography of 18th century abolitionist William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) is likely to come as a revelation to many Britons, as well. After all, despite the presence of his wife, Barbara (Romola Garai), this isn't a particularly "sexy" story, but it is a powerful one. The title comes from John Newton's hymn "Amazing Grace" ("I once was lost but now am found"). Newton (Albert Finney) was a former slaveholder, who became a clergyman and spent his days repenting. While America had John Brown, England had Wilberforce, and Newton is one of many who helped the MP to abolish slavery in the UK. The story begins towards the end of Wilberforce's mission when he's sick with colitis and addicted to laudanum. Apted continues to alternate between 1797 and 1789, when Wilberforce was fitter and more idealistic, and ends in 1807 as his efforts come to fruition. Apted and writer Steven Knight (Dirty Pretty Things) do right by their hero. Unlike Amistad, however, slaves are largely off-screen, with the exception of author Equiano (Senegalese vocalist Youssou N'Dour). Amazing Grace reserves its focus for the politicians who risked their reps for the greater good, like Wilberforce and Prime Minister Pitt (an excellent Benedict Cumberbatch), and those more concerned with the income slavery provided their constituents, like Lord Tarleton (CiarĂ¡n Hinds) and the Duke of Clarence (Toby Jones). --Kathleen C. Fennessy

4 out of 5 starsbuana pelicula
Buena peliculaa que nos consientiza sobre la lucha por los derechos y como Dios nos dirige.



3 out of 5 starsAmazing Grace
Good video for all ages. If someone is wanting to know the true story behind this movie, I would recommend research as the video is not all fact.



5 out of 5 starsAmazing Grace
I love this film for many reasons, and I use the movie in my AP classes to show students the power of a man or woman's perseverance to a cause in which he or she believes. The video was reasonably priced and of good quality. I am extremely pleased with this item.



4 out of 5 starsEnding the evil of slavery
Uplifting story of William Wilberforce's battle to abolish slavery in England in the late 18th/early 19th century. Well-acted film plays fast and loose with the facts for dramatic licence but this is only a slight quibble of an excellent film.



5 out of 5 starsAmazing Grace
The movie was absolutely AMAZING! It will really touch your heart to see a man (William Wilberforce) who would give everything to change the world.
