Youssou N'Dour

1797 yılında, İngiltere’de köleliğin yasaklanması için büyük mücadele veren William Wilberforce, kötü giden sağlığının düzelmesi için tatile çıkar. Fakat köleliğin yasaklanmasi için verdiği mücadeleden vazgeçmek niyetinde değildir. Barbara Spooner ile tanışınca, Wilberforce ruh eşini bulduğuna ve mücadelesini onunla paylaşabileceğine inanır.

Böylece sosyal adaletin sağlanması uğruna verdiği savaşı büyük bir zaferle sonuçlandıracağına inanır. Irkçılıkla savaşan William Wilberforce’un biyografisini anlatan Şaşırtıcı Merhamet / Amazing Grace, aynı zamanda seyredilmeye değer bir hukuk mücadelesinin de altını çiziyor.
