Amazing Grace
Biopic/historical drama about the leader of the British Abolitionist movement in the 18th century.
Plot
1780s London, and William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd) is a young MP struggling to abolish the slave trade in the British Empire.
Verdict
There’s so much story here that the characters don’t have quite enough room to breathe, but it’s still a fascinating look at a time, and a man, worth remembering.
