There’s another movie I want to see. It comes out tomorrow. It’s called Amazing Grace, and it portrays a dramatized version of the life of Anti-Slavery activist William Wilberforce, who worked in parliament for about two decades towards his cause. I just found out about this movie today, so it wasn’t on my list of movies to see in 2007. But it should have been.
I’m not really sure how it escaped my radar for so long. It looks to be pretty good from the trailers.
An interesting tidbit (courtesy Wikipedia) is that the release date (23 February, 2007) is set “to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the date the Parliament of the United Kingdom voted to ban the transport of slaves by British subjects.”
