Single DVD

The Better Hour is the story of a man who, inspired by faith, used his political and social influence to change the world for the better. At the beginning of the 19th century, almost a third of the British economy depended on the trade of human beings. William Wilberforce was determined to end this horrific practice, by persuading both Parliament and British society to abolish slavery in the British Empire.

"For a time such as this"

By Rick

from Sydney, Australia

Comments about PBS The Better Hour: The Legacy of William Wilberforce DVD:

I cried through Amazing Grace 3 times, then took my teenage son and bought the DVD.
Few people have given their ALL to humanity the way Wilberforce did. He was not just a good man, he lived a life of well founded Christian faith. People like this man, his mentors and compatriots are hard to find.
If you want to feel in your bones what the call of God looks like when it is meant to impact the world see this!
Again it is "a time such as this" as we globally encounter the 'how to'of the Millenium Development Goals. Great Timing!

Better than "Amazing Grace"

By Carlos

Comments about PBS The Better Hour: The Legacy of William Wilberforce DVD:

An honest and well crafted survey of a life extraordinarily well-lived. Refreshingly free of revisionist historicism.
