A Christian charity is set to release a short film celebrating the life of one of its most famous founding fathers, slave abolitionist William Wilberforce.

"The Walk", which has been produced by the Bible Society, follows on the heels of another film about the parliamentarian and social reformer called "Amazing Grace: The William Wilberforce Story".

The Bible Society is holding a special screening of "The" Walk tomorrow in Manchester to mark the 200th anniversary of the Parliamentary Act which abolished the slave trade.
