Amazing Grace
16/09/2006
Em pleno século XVIII, William Wilberforce, membro parlamentar do poderoso Império Britânico, luta por uma reforma social na Europa. Para dar dignidade aos imigrantes africanos que vivem como escravos, Wilberforce enfrenta a aristocracia e os preconceitos da época. Apesar das suas proezas políticas, Wilberforce vê-se dividido entre a sua carreira de sucesso em ascensão e o desejo de desistir de tudo por uma vida de espiritualidade. Inspirado pela charmosa Barbara Spooner, pelo Primeiro-Ministro William Pitt, que lhe confiou a tarefa de abolir a escravatura, pelo seu mentor, John Newton, um antigo traficante de escravos convertido à Igreja, e por Olaudah Equiano, um antigo escravo que se tornou escritor, Wilberforce vai reunir todas as sua forças e ideias para alcançar a vitória na cruzada pela justiça.
