12 Years A Slave is British director Steve McQueens harrowing movie about Solomon Northup, a free black man in pre-Civil War America who lives, by all accounts, a successful life as a violinist in upstate New York, with a beautiful and accomplished wife and two lovely children. One day, he is persuaded by a pair of men to go to Washington, D.C. to play for a circus. Over dinner he is drugged and sold into slavery. 12 Years is his grueling story as he attempts to survive living almost literally under the boot heels of two very different white plantation owners.
