About this movie

Based on an incredible true story of one man's fight for survival and freedom. In the pre-Civil War United States, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a free black man from upstate New York, is abducted and sold into slavery. Facing cruelty (personified by a malevolent slave owner, portrayed by Michael Fassbender), as well as unexpected kindnesses, Solomon struggles not only to stay alive, but to retain his dignity. In the twelfth year of his unforgettable odyssey, Solomon's chance meeting with a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) will forever alter his life. (CBFC A DFL/3/4/2014-MUM)

It's a brilliant movie. This is one of the gut wrenching movies I have watched. Movie has lots of heartbreaking and sad moments. After watching this movie, you realize that a human being is capable of both inflicting and enduring great amount of pain.

Shaken to the core. This movie will stay with for a long time. I found myself rooting desperately for the protagonist. The complexity of the characters is portrayed in a fabulous manner.
