The idealist William Wilberforce maneuvers his way through Parliament, endeavoring to end the British transatlantic slave trade.
Tasteful, but unexcited account of an otherwise quite upsetting political struggle with a excellent cast and lovely period details.
Maltin**1/2: "Earnest and enlightening...Impressive roster of actors lends weight to this well-made film, but somehow it never reaches the dramatic heights it should, considering the passionate nature of its protagonist and the nobility of his cause."
