“12 Years A Slave” is the new movie based on the life of a freedman Solomon Northup who was kidnapped into slavery in the 1840’s.

Check out the explosive trailer below.

I saw this trailer when I went to see Lee Daniels’ The Buter. When I found out about this story I instantly went to Wikipedia to learn all I could about Solomon Northup. I was lucky to find the audio book on Youtube. The story is amazing and the cast of actors and actresses are amazing. I invite you all to check out the audio book and to save the date to see this excellent story opening night.

12 Years a Slave is directed by Steve McQueen and written by John Ridley,  is a 2013 historical drama film based on the autobiography Twelve Years a Slave by Solomon Northup, a free black man who was kidnapped and sold into slavery.  The star-studded cast is led by Chiwetel Ejiofor , as Solomon Northup, Michael Fassbender,  newcomer Lupita Nyong’o, Brad Pitt and Quvenzhane Wallis.

12 Years a Slave received amazing reviews at the Toronto International Film Festival and many of the reviews have already given Oscar predictions to the movie. According to BuzzFeed senior film reporter Adam B Vary,

“I am composed enough to say ’12 Years A Slave’ is the best, most emotionally powerful movie I have seen in a decade, at least. I would be afraid about overselling ’12 Years a Slave,’ but if you love cinema and storytelling and are human, you will understand.”

Many people might think this film is an updated version of Roots, a fictionalized tale of slavery, 12 Years A Slave took a non-fiction account and brought it to the silver screen. Many critics have said 12 Years A Slave is the next Schindler’s List because of both movie’s ability to not only tell the tale of atrocities but to make it very human.

I read the book and listened to the audio tale and I can’t wait to see 12 Years A Slave opening night!
