They showed a clip from it on the big screen in our church on Sunday and encouraged us to see it. It is about the writing of the song. I hope to see it as soon as it comes here.

I'm really looking forward to it. I just hope they don't try and water it down with a secular message when it was most certainly a Christian message that changed the man's heart to God. Anyway, it seems like it's going to be a hit, and I can't wait to see it.

I saw it last night. It was really good. I didn't realize how much history was behind the song. I give it two thumbs up!

My husband and I saw it last Sunday, we enjoyed it very much....the writing of the song, was really more of a subplot....it's really about William Wilberforce, who's mentor was the songwriter for Amazing Grace, and his efforts in Parliment to abolish Britian's envolvement in the slave trade.

"Was blind but now I see." That was a lyric that kept passing through my mind as I saw this movie. It's about how one man was able to think the right way by faith and had to convince others to be enlightened to share the same view. It shows how we people as sinners are sometimes not so quick to change our backwards ways. I really liked how the film was not shy of making the Christian themes explicit and how they made the original hymn writer, John Newton a key character.

Excellent film whereas a flawed but dedicated Christian makes a difference which changed the world of his day and ultimately ours. The story of the abolition of slavery in England during the beginning of the 19th Century and those who brought it about. Touching and true..very well acted.
