Three Remarkable Lives. One Amazing Grace.
Inspired by the major motion picture, Radio Theatre’s Amazing Grace serves as a prequel to the film. Experience events in the late 1700’s that led three men – John Newton, Olaudah Equiano and William Wilberforce – to join together in a fight against England’s slave trade. Meet William Wilberforce, a privileged young man and a rising star in British politics. So why would he throw it all away to fight for the freedom of a people he’d never known, in lands he’d never visited? Experience the story of a man who learned that conviction comes with a very high price – but a price worth paying to abolish slavery. At age 10, Olaudah Equiano was brutally taken from Africa as a slave. Oppressed and betrayed, this child would become a man who defied his times with courage, ingenuity, and faith. Young John Newton traded slaves and became a slave – to men, and to his own depravity. So, how is it that such a man could write the words Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me…? Radio Theatre’s Amazing Grace presents the story of three lives that converged on one point in history, stirring the conscience of a nation and changing the world forever
