The name of the movie is Belle. Set in 1759 it is the story of the Mansfield family. Dido is a black girl whose father was a captain of the Royal Navy. He fell in love with a black woman who died and left her only child to his care. He took the girl home and his uncle who was a very prominent judge took her in and looked after her while the father went to sea. While Dido inherited her father's fortune, her white cousin was illegitimate and penniless, the story unfolds around them both growing up in 18th century England.
