12 Years A Slave

Italian_Buju

True story: In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty at the hands of a malevolent slave owner, as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist will forever alter his life.



Very well told true story from Mr. Northup's own journals.....a dark part of history that must never been forgotten....without spoiling anything, I must say that I love that even 150 years ago, Canadians were amazing......
