12 Years a Slave is a moving and educational film about slavery in the 1800s. I never knew there was kidnapping of people being done in the northern states of America to transport them and make them slaves in the southern states of America. What makes this also a great film is its historical accuracy based on the memoirs of Solomon Northup who went through this ordeal for 12 years. The movie is effective in showing the wrongfulness, cruelty, and immorality of slavery.
