12 Years A Slave (2013)

Spoiler: Plot

12 Years a Slave is a 2013 period drama film and an adaptation of the 1853 slave narrative memoir Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, a New York State-born free African-American man who was kidnapped in Washington, D.C., in 1841 and sold into slavery. Northup worked on plantations in the state of Louisiana for 12 years before his release.

Easily the best and more realistic portrayal of the horrors slaves endured for so many years. A true reminder of how low Man can stoop but also of how there's good and bad people out there, done in the coldest way possible. A movie that makes us think. Am incredibly powerful and inspiring story starring brilliant actors and actresses in absolutely incredible performances that convey the brutality of slavery in a way no other slavery-related movie could ever achieve.

The film was directed by Steve McQueen. The screenplay was written by John Ridley. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Solomon Northup. Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt, and Alfre Woodard are all featured in supporting roles. Music by Hans Zimmer who does an incredible job, as always.
