Amazing Grace is the incredible true story of William Wilberforce, who tirelessly led the campaign to abolish slavery in Britain. At a time when the slave trade was not only perceived as acceptable but as a necessity for the economy, Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists dared to speak out against a massive injustice, fighting long and hard for the freedom of others.

Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four) leads an authentic British cast that includes Rufus Sewell (The Illusionist) and Michael Gambon (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire). Directed by Michael Apted (The World Is Not Enough).

Commentary by Director Michael Apted and Ioan Gruffudd
