Description
|
|
|
|
Director Michael Apted's inspiring historical film from 2007 chronicles the life of British abolitionist William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) and his nearly 20-year quest to end the slave trade in England. Waging his campaign against an uncooperative Parliament and the entrenched economic interests of the late 18th-century, Wilberforce is aided by boyhood friend William Pitt (Benedict Cumberbatch), who grows up to become prime minister. But Wilberforce's greatest support comes from John Newton (Albert Finney), a former slaver turned Anglican minister and composer of the titular hymn.
