I’ve seen a lot of films over the years but I don’t think any has been so moving and thought-provoking as ‘12 Years A Slave’. A black man from upstate New York in the mid 1800’s is tricked into slavery and the story unfolds as he and his fellow slaves face an horrific future.

No stone is left unturned in terms of detail and, as the story unwinds, the characters in the plot develop and we see human life and all of its fragility for those who suffer played out in front of us. 

I won’t say any more so as not to spoil the plot but it is a MUST-SEE.
