Benedict Cumberbatch, Parliament, Prime Minister Photo - London. UK. Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Poulet at the UK premiere of his film 'Amazing Grace' at the Curzon, Mayfair, London. He plays British Prime Minister William Pitt the Younger in a movie that tells the story of 18th and 19th century anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce. A British M.P from 1780, he became involved in the growing campaign against the slave trade . He soon became a powerful advocate against slavery but had to face a hostile parliament where many M.Ps and the aristocracy had become very rich on the proceeds of slavery. However in 1807 the slave trade was finally abolished but it took another 25 years before the institution of slavery itself was abolished in the British Empire - something Wilberforce was able to witness before his death in 1833. 19th March 2007.
