Based on the life of British anti-slavery pioneer William Wilberforce (Gruffudd), the film follows his 18th century political career, which placed him at odds with some of the most powerful men of the time, including the king.

MOVIE REVIEW

A period piece starring Mr. Fantastic himself, Ioan Gruffudd, Amazing Grace is about idealist William Wilberforce's attempts during the 19th century to end Britain's endorsement of the slave trade. While the movie offers some interesting facts and politics, the end result is a rather dry and stuffy drama with little power to it.
