JUST WATCHED It. I was going into this thinking it was gonna suck and I wouldn't know what's going on and be confused and bored. NO. I WAS WRONG. BEYOND FASCINATING. and that is coming from someone who has zero interest in anything slave-related. I didn't know anything about John Newton but I learned soooooo much in this movie. Not only was it interesting but the cinematography is absolutely stunning. This movie was made so well. I enjoyed this so much more than I expected. GO SEE THIS. I agree with the others 10+
