In
the 1780s, "Gruffudd
plays Wilberforce, who, as a Member of Parliament, navigated the world
of 18th Century backroom politics to end the slave trade in the British
Empire. Albert
Finney plays John Newton, a confidante of Wilberforce who inspires him
to pursue a life of service to humanity. Benedict
Cumberbatch is William Pitt the Younger, England's youngest ever Prime
Minister at the age of 24, who encourages his friend Wilberforce to take
up the fight to outlaw slavery and supports him in his struggles in
Parliament." - http://www.amazinggracemovie.com/the_film.php
Today, in the first
decade of the 2000s, it would be nice to have a Wilberforce navigate the
world of The U.S. Capitol. Let's hope, when needed, more "Wilberforces"
will stand up for humanity and not just for the powerful few.
