A Wonderful Life. Trully Amazing - Amazing Grace review by CP Customer
Human nature loves a story of triumphing against unsurmountable odds, but not many at all are actually true stories that will inspire others. William Wilberforce, was a passionate man who lived in Britain and fought for many abused, neglected people all his life. This film concentrates on his struggle to fight a campaign to abolish slavery in throughout the Old Empire.
We have a glimpse of this mans private life and the real difficulties and personal doubts he had in order to let people have a change to see the love of God which he believed was to be freely shown to all men.
Truly amazing grace. Suitable for all the family although may be a little long for younger members.

Inspiring - Amazing Grace review by CC
Filled in knowledge gaps and the acting was superb. Great production that concentrated on the fight against slavery rather than aspects of slavery itself.

A great historical drama telling the story of William Wilberforce, who led the movement to abolish slavery in Britain. The cast is fantastic and the film is interesting and moving.
