Amazing Grace

Storyline:
In 1797, William Wilberforce, the great crusader for the British abolition of slavery, is taking a vacation for his health even while he is sicker at heart for his frustrated cause. However, meeting the charming Barbara Spooner, Wilberforce finds a soulmate to share the story of his struggle. With few allies such as his mentor, John Newton, a slave ship captain turned repentant priest who penned the great hymn, "Amazing Grace," Prime William Pitt, and Olaudah Equiano, the erudite former slave turned author, Wilberforce fruitlessly fights both public indifference and moneyed opposition determined to keep their exploitation safe. Nevertheless, Wilberforce finds the inspiration in newfound love to rejuvenate the fight with new ideas that would lead to a great victory for social justice.

Really powerful and moving. Well made and clean. Safe for the whole family although younger than middle school age would probably not be interested.

I went to this movie feeling like I was dragged there by my wife. I left it feeling inspired and educated. I had not read the reviews or seen any previews andI thought the movie was about the life of John Newton, the author of "Amazing Grace". I was surprised to find out that it was about the life of William Wilberforce and the British abolitionist movement. The movie was full of depth of character and endearing humanity. It impressed upon the viewers the severity of the condition on slave ships without being too visually gruesome (an all to real possibility considering the reality of the voyage for the slaves). All in all, it is an inspiring movie about perserverance in the face of political adversity with a subtext of the role of nationalism and greed in politics. Enjoy the show!

This was a well done movie with a great message. The few liberties that were taken with history just communicated the movie's message better. As individuals we do have the potential to make a difference. Younger children won't get much from the movie but an older child that has been given the history of the key players and the slave trade iself will understand and enjoy this film.

This movie was a great presentation of a historical time we must not forget. Slavery comes to each of us in different ways and those who will fight to free slaves should always be our heroes.

Good story line - although somewhat misleading in the description - it is not really the history behind the writing of Amazing Grace, but the events surrounding that time period.
