WINNER OF 3 ACADEMY AWARDS – BEST PICTURE, BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS & BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY
The compelling true story of Solomon Northrup, a freeman who was living happily with his family in upstate New York, until he was kidnapped and sold into slavery in New Orleans is “an uncompromising look at slavery in the Antebellum South. Anchored by career-defining performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor and Lupita Nyong’o, director Steve McQueen brings his assured directorial mind to a harrowing, but necessary picture.” (Cinema Sight)
