Wilberforce did not work closely with Olaudah Equiano, the former slave. They likely met each other at some point, but the movie added him because he was an important abolitionist who lived in England around the same time. From what i can find it is believed they met, but no proof.

William Wilberforce was a leading British politician and abolitionist who dedicated much of his career to the fight against the transatlantic slave trade, successfully pushing for the passage of the Slave Trade Act of 1807. Olaudah Equiano, a former slave and prominent abolitionist, used his personal narrative in his autobiography to expose the horrors of slavery and garner public support for its abolition. Together, their efforts helped raise awareness about the inhumanity of slavery and mobilized public opinion, ultimately contributing to the broader abolitionist movement in Britain.

Olaudah Equiano worked with William Wilberforce to abolish the transatlantic slave trade. Equiano provided first-hand accounts of his experiences as a slave, which helped to raise awareness and support for the abolitionist cause. Wilberforce, a British politician, introduced bills in Parliament that eventually led to the abolition of the slave trade in 1807.

There were several people involved in various countries of the world. One notable name is William Wilberforce. Some other people who helped out were Thomas Clarkson and olaudah equiano. Google them you find out loads! ;)
Well Olaudah Equiano... |x..In 1789 Olaudah Equiano wrote the story of his life. This was widely read and turned many people against slavery. He travelled the country speaking at meetings and worked closely with other abolishionists like Granville Sharp. In fact it was Equiano who brought the case of slave ship Zong to the publics attention. He died in 1797. I hoped That Helped!!! I Cant Remember What Wilberforce Did!..x| ?...Umm yeah William Wilberforce spent many years trying to abolish the slavery he also presented loads of bills to the British Parliament but the final abolition didnt happen until a month after William death. I think the main reason it tok so long is because the slaves brung us sugar cotton and other stuff also they were cheap and effective houshold servants in the time of the 1800 and even before then!!!...Umm yeah hope this helps! x
Olaudah Equiano's sister's name was unknown. She is not mentioned by name in Equiano's autobiography.
