• Amazing Grace - The William WIlberforce Story
  Opens in Cinemas across Australia July 26
  
  Amazing Grace is a film about the historic tale of the courageous William Wilberforce and his mission to rid the world of slavery. The film showcases a truly heartfelt performance by Ioan Gruffudd, amazing 19th Century sets and costumes, and a wonderfully inspiring script that will be sure to move audiences.
  
  The film reached the Top 10 in the US Box Office charts and made over 22 million dollars domestically.
  
  Amazing Grace has the potential to serve as a powerful catalyst for the Stop the Traffik campaign.
  
  Why not get a group together, book out a cinema, or make it a church activity to ensure as many people as possible see the film!
