“Belle is a 2013 British period-drama film directed by Amma Asante , written by Misan Sagay and produced by Damian Jones . It stars Gugu Mbatha-Raw , Tom Wilkinson , Miranda Richardson , Penelope Wilton , Sam Reid , Matthew Goode , Emily Watson , Sarah Gadon , Tom Felton and James Norton .
“The film is loosely inspired by the 1779 painting of Dido Elizabeth Belle beside her cousin Lady Elizabeth Murray at Kenwood House , commissioned by their great-uncle, William Murray, 1st Earl of Mansfield , then Lord Chief Justice of England .
“Very little is known about the life of Dido Belle, who was born in the West Indies and was the illegitimate mixed-race daughter of Mansfield's nephew, Sir John Lindsay . She is found living in poverty by her father and entrusted to the care of Mansfield and his wife.
“The fictionalized story centers on Dido's relationship with an aspiring lawyer; it is set at a time of legal significance, as a court case is heard on what became known as the Zong massacre , when slaves were thrown overboard from a slave ship and the owner filed with his insurance company for the losses. Lord Mansfield ruled on this case in England's Court of King's Bench in 1786, in a decision seen to contribute to the Slave Trade Act 1807 .” - more at Wikipedia
