This is the autobiography of Solomon Northup, a free black man who was abducted from New York state and sold in the mid-1800s as a slave in the South. The trauma of going from a free man to a slave is appalling. It was hard to focus on the quality of the movie because I was so angry. A real ugly part of American history is slavery and their treatment. The movie was slow at times but worth seeing. I give it a 7. Stars Chiwetel Ejiofor; Brad Pitt; Michael Fassbender; Paul Giamatti.
