Hull cinema-goers will have an exclusive viewing of the blockbuster Hollywood feature film Amazing Grace, before it is released across the world.

And veteran star-of-the-screen Albert Finney, a five-time Academy Award nominee, plays John Newton, the former slave-ship captain who wrote the hymn Amazing Grace and who inspired Wilberforce.
