Premise

The film, occasionally narrated by Joke Silva, tells the reformation story of British slave trader John Newton (Nick Moran), sailing to what is now Nigeria to buy slaves. Later, increasingly shocked by the brutality of slavery, he gives up the trade and becomes an Anglican priest.[8][9] Newton later writes the redemptive hymn Amazing Grace and becomes an abolitionist.
