In 1797, 34-year-old
Evangelical antislavery firebrand William Wilberforce (Ioan
Gruffudd), consumed by his cause, exhausted by the vicious
Parliament in-fighting and wracked by colitis, retires to
the country home of his friends Henry and Marianne Thornton
(Nicholas Farrell, Sylvestra Le Touzel). While on the mend,
he recounts his struggles to admirer Barbara Spooner (Romola
Garai). |
