Amazing Grace - Christian Movie Review

Thursday February 22, 2007
With perseverance, commitment and faith, accompanied by God's amazing grace, people of passionate convictions can indeed change the world. This theme permeates the film, Amazing Grace.

Two hundred years ago in 1807 the first anti-slave trade bill was passed by England's Parliament, ending 400 years of slave trading. A brave force led by one persistent man, upheld by moral integrity, inspiring friends and a driving faith in God, paved the way for this world-changing, history-shaping milestone. The film celebrates the 200th anniversary of this accomplishment and a true Christian hero, William Wilberforce (Ioan Gruffudd), who fought to end a horrible evil of his time.

(Rated PG; Release - February 23, 2007; Review rating 4.5)
