Award-winning historical slave-narrative drama directed by Steve
McQueen and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor. The film follows the
experience of Solomon Northup (Ejiofor), an African-American living
with a wife and two children in Saratoga, New York, who is
kidnapped and sold into slavery by men claiming to offer him work
as a circus musician. Transported by ship to New Orleans, it isn't
long before he is given a new name and sold to William Ford
(Benedict Cumberbatch), a relatively empathetic slave owner. But
confrontations with the cruel and violent overseer John Tibeats
(Paul Dano) leads to Solomon being passed on by Ford to the
extremely abusive and alcoholic planter Edwin Epps (Michael
Fassbender), who rules his slaves with a whip in one hand and a
Bible in the other. Believing the only hope of regaining his
freedom is to remain passive for the time being, Solomon ceases
fighting against the illegitimacy of his situation until salvation
is offered to him by a kindly labourer named Bass (Brad Pitt). The
film was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three including
Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress (Lupita Nyong'o). It also
won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture - Drama and BAFTAs for
Best Leading Actor (Ejiofor) and Best Film.
