In the years before the Civil War, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is kidnapped and sold into slavery in the South. Subjected to the cruelty of one malevolent owner (Michael Fassbender), he also finds unexpected kindness from another, as he struggles continually to survive and maintain some of his dignity. Then in the 12th year of the disheartening ordeal, a chance meeting with an abolitionist from Canada changes Solomon's life forever.

The beginning of the film was a bit slow and tricky with jumping back and forth in time BUT it took off and was a very well done true story movie. The scenery and filming was very clear in HD and well done capturing the earlier moments in history.

This was a very good story and kind of reminded me somewhat of The Mini Series "Roots" but think it was better. It is worth the watch.
