12 Years a Slave

Steve McQueen’s Best Picture Oscar brings an incredible true story to the big screen. Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejio-for), a free black, violinist, farmer and family man from upstate New York is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing stark, visceral and unrelenting cruelty as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles to stay alive while retaining his dignity in his fight for survival and freedom.
