My daughter Loves Ioan Grufford, watching him in the A&E miniseries Horatio Hornblower, the Masterpiece series The Forsyte Saga, and The Fantastic Four. So when we saw he was the lead in this movie of the true-to-life story of William Wilberforce, of course we had to see it. What a refreshing and uplifting TRUE story of one of the world's unsung heroes, instrumental in abolishing the slave trade route through England, and by turn, around the world. The movie depicts his unwavering belief that all of God's people are created equal, and that no man should be owned by another.
The cast is superb, with Grufford assisted by Benedict Cumberbatch (now well-known as the new Sherlock Holmes) as Wilberforce's friend Pitt, and Oscar winner Albert Finney as the author of the hymn Amazing Grace.
