Notes:

This film will bring you to the times of suffering, courage, faith, and endurance of those under any form of slavery in the past and even today. 12 Years a Slave (2013) leaves an imprint on why we should do away with injustice in our society. With a well-adapted screenplay from Solomon Northup's 12 Years A Slave book and soulful acts from Chiwetel Ejiofor--who plays lead as Northup--and the rest of the cast is one of 2013's best movies.
