Amazing Grace, DVD

"Amazing Grace tells the inspiring story of how 
one man's passion and perseverance changed the 
world. Based on the true life story of William 
Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd), a leader of the 
British abolition movement, the film chronicles 
his epic struggle to pass a law to end the slave 
trade in the late 18th century. Along the way, 
Wilberforce meets intense opposition from members 
of Parliament who feel the slave trade is tied to 
the stability of the British Empire. Several 
friends, including Wilberforce's minister, John 
Newton (Albert Finney), a reformed slave ship 
captain who penned the beloved hymn Amazing Grace, 
urge him to see the cause through."
