Amazing Grace - The William Wilberforce Story (In Theaters Spring 2007)

Amazing Grace is a film which is set to be released in movie theaters in the Spring of 2007.

It is based on the true story of William Wilberforce, a British statesman and reformer from the early part of the 19th century. This feature film will chronicle his extraordinary contributions to the world, primarily his 20-year fight to abolish the British slave trade, which he won in 1807. He was also instrumental in passing legislation to abolish slavery in the British colonies, a victory he won just three days before his death in 1833.

This is going to be a pretty amazing film which addresses issues of faith and social justice. Something worth planning to see!
