William Wilberforce and Cambridge alumni William Peter have been staunch supporters of the abolition of the slave trade. Until Peter told Wilberforce that he might become the prime minister of the United Kingdom (the youngest prime minister in British history), and persuaded Wilberforce to join the parliament.
Wilberforce had a strong gift for speech, and he often fought against the confucianists in Parliament and waved the flag for the abolition of the slave trade. At first he was fighting almost alone. With the help of Pete, slowly, some people who hated slavery gathered around Wilberforce. They saw the dawn of victory countless times, but they still fell into failure again and again. .
Until the Anglo-French War broke out and rumors spread, they were put on the hat of the Revolutionary Party, and one by one they chose to retreat or leave.
He began to feel lonely, malaise, and his bad body, which made him addicted to opiates. He often wakes up from his dreams, the dreams are full of slaves with handcuffs and ankle chains, beckoning to him, those eyes longing for freedom seem to be a knife piercing Wilberforce's heart, making him unhappy.
Ms. Barbara Spooner appeared at the right time, Wilberforce confided to her day and night, and Ms. Spooner showed precise understanding and clever advice. Wilberforce was almost completely renewed and rekindled. Be fighting spirit.
James returned from the Indian Ocean Islands and brought a lot of evidence of the brutal rule of slave owners. They summed up their experience, adopted roundabout tactics, and used a clever deception to win a crucial victory.
At this time Peter fell ill and did not see the victory of the struggle in the end. He was 44 years old, never married, and dedicated all his life to political cause.
At the end of the film, the actors in the film also expressed their views:
Speaking of great people, people often talk about those who fought in armed struggle, such as Napoleon. However, it is difficult to remember those who fought in peace. They are more lonely and also It's even greater.
William Wilfors single-handedly opposed the entire aristocratic power class, and eventually the slave trade was abolished. His greatness is enough to be famous for thousands of years and win the respect of all ages.
At the end of the film, the English bagpipes sounded, and the funeral procession moved forward slowly in the melodious melody of Amazing Grace. Wilberforce was finally buried in Westminster Abbey, next to his forever friend, William Peter.
After the abolition of the slave trade, Wilberforce is still committed to education, health care, and prison reforms, and is fulfilling his dream-Make a better world, a better world.
