At just 21 years old, William Wilberforce (played by Ioan Gruffudd) joins the British Parliament at the urging of his friend William Pitt (played by Benedict Cumberbatch). Together, they lead the anti-slavery movement, engaging in intense struggles against their opponents. However, the bill Wilberforce proposed to end the slave trade was rejected by Parliament. Exhausted from the political battles, Wilberforce suffers from colitis. In 1797, while recuperating at a friend's countryside home, he meets his admirer Barbara Spooner (played by Romola Garai). Wilberforce shares his struggle with her, and they fall in love and marry. Finally, in 1807, Wilberforce's bill is partially passed, and the anti-slavery movement begins to grow stronger.
This film is based on the life of British politician and reformer William Wilberforce, a leading advocate for the abolition of slavery, depicting his long-standing fight against the slave trade in the 18th-century British Parliament. The film uses computer technology to blend past footage with present images, creating an epic tale of the battle between justice and evil.
