I don't usually write a review or recommendation of a movie or book on my blog, but I'm making an exception for the film Amazing Grace. I saw this movie on Friday and loved it.
The film is about William Wilberforce and the movement to abolish the slave trade in the British empire. It is well acted and very moving. The horrors of the slave trade are discussed more than they are actually show, which is think is a flaw of the film, so it has a rating of PG and is suitable for pre-teen children.
The movie's official website has a link to the Amazing Change Campaign. Slavery is alive and well in much of today's world. Go visit the website and learn how you can continue the work of people like William Wilberforce.
