Synopsis
Discover the compelling true story of the world's first major human rights movement, which began in 1780s England. A small group of determined activists set out to abolish slavery across the British Empire, pioneering many of the protest tactics still used today. Their efforts led to the freeing of hundreds of thousands of enslaved people, long before similar movements succeeded elsewhere.
