This movie was so inspiring -- we went and looked up some more history on William Wilberforce and the abolition of slavery. Except for a few curse words when viewing the slave ships and some others, this was very family friendly. It had no undue violence and it even had some romance without the usual sexual scenes / innuendo. A good movie for families with older children, and anyone who wants to see what even just one person can do if God has called him to action.
