• Amazing Grace (DVD)
  I was hoping to see more of John Newton, the author of "Amazing Grace," in the movie, but other than that it was all I expected. It took a few minutes to sort all the characters into their place in the scheme of the movie. The struggles of William Wiberforce to end the slave trade along with his health problems made the movie even dramatic. The closing scene with the bagpipes is among the most touching scenes I have ever experienced with any movie. The movie may have a few flaws, but the overall message... more info

• Great story - well presented
  Not what I expected but an excellent true story of one man's long struggle to end the slave trade in England. The acting is very good and the director gives viewers a small taste of the horrors of slavery without being too graphic. Not recommended for young kids and even tweens without parental presence; some scenes are very depressing. Highly recommended viewing, especially in light of recent world events in Darfur and similar locations. There still exist people who need help to survive.

• amazing grace "proudly South-African"
  Amazing Grace was made by Hansie Cronje's brother, creative studio's that made the bio about Angus Buchan- Faith like potatoes. I enjoyed Amazing grace and will never listen to the song without thinking about the life of William Wilberforce.
  

• A must see!
  This movie is one of the "must sees" of our time. It brings to life a man only vaguely remembered by most people from their history class of long ago. It is excellently illustrated, acted and produced and makes me wonder why it didn't get more mention at the Academy awards. Anyway, I guess it is a sign of the times that anything that demonstrates the powerful results of faith in God gets little mention in the mass media. Thanks for reselling this. It was received in great condition and fast too.
