is AMAZING GRACE an AMAZINGLY DISGRACEFUL movie?



According to polls conducted on our facebook group " we need a revolution in Nollywood", 60% of the participants voted that the 2006 Jeta Amata masterpiece which starred actors like Nick Moran, Scott Cleverdon, Mbong Odungide and Joke Silva was a step in the right direction but does not quite hit the mark. Despite the brave reviews the movie received upon release, audiences still feel that the producers could have done a lot better with the storyline which was porous compared to Micheal Apted's AMAZING GRACE (2007) with actors like Ioan Gruffudd and Romola Garai. The Hollywood Amazing Grace movie was probably under development for a longer time, which means they started the production way before the Nigerian version. who knows, they could sue the Amatas.

I cried through the whole film. I would just like to know how much of this film was actually based on history?
