A partnership has been formed with The Amazing Change organisation and the Geneva Global Fund to raise money for and awareness of modern day slavery, in association with the movie and soundtrack of Amazing Grace, a Samuel Goldwyn Films/Roadside Attractions/Bristol Bay Productions film.
Top Contemporary Christian musicians will record modern day versions of hymns for the "Inspired By" soundtrack of the film. The Music Inspired By The Motion Picture Amazing Grace soundtrack will be released 23 January 2007 to both the general market and CBA stores in the US.
Amazing Grace, opening in theatres 23 February 2007, stars Ioan Gruffudd (Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer) as William Wilberforce, the man who championed the abolition of slavery in the British Empire.
His life was also an astounding spiritual and moral quest, and he is an inspiration to millions to this day. Elected to Parliament at age 21, Wilberforce led a diverse coalition of believers in a decades-long struggle to end the lucrative but dehumanising slave trade. Wilberforce was aided by slave trader-turned abolitionist Rev John Newton (Albert Finney) and by his spirited wife and political compatriot Barbara Spooner (Romola Garai).
