A church in Dalby is staging a free film screening as part of Fairtrade Fortnight.
St James will be showing Amazing Grace tomorrow (Friday) night.
The period drama follows the story of politician William Wilberforce as he manoeuvres his way through Parliament in his battle to try to end the British transatlantic slave trade.
St James minister Cheryl Cousins said: ‘The film is a historic drama in its own right, but also acts as a catalyst for some of those bigger issues raised by the Fairtrade movement today.
‘These include the cost of exploitation against cheap prices; the individual’s right to challenge the status quo; the moral and ethical voice of the church; the impact of the trade union movement on working conditions and wages in our own society.’
She added: ‘Come and learn more about how this movement that changed the world over 200 years ago is still working to bring about justice today, and how you can become part of it.’
The screening will start at 7.30pm.
There is no admission charge, but donations are welcomed to help cover costs.
Fairtrade refreshments and home cooking ‘Fairtrade-style’ will be served, and the Dalby Fairtrade Shop, which sells a wide range of Traidcraft Fairtrade products, will be open as usual.
