The Horrors of Slavery

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2016)

12 Years a Slave was a magnificent example of what slavery was like in past history. Based off a true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man that was sold to slavery, he has to face a multitude of irrationality and abuse. As a slave, he now has to face the "Horrors of Slavery" for the hardest 12 years of his life. The film demonstrates these horrors with much emphasis on the process of demoralization of every single slave especially Solomon. Horrors as in the straight brutality and cruelty of slavery without out any boundaries. Solomon's struggles along with the other slaves and owners he's encounter represents humanity's evil in the world. Evil that no man has to ever face throughout their lifetime. So if you really want to see slavery in its true colors and notice these "Horrors", it is highly suggested to watch this film that might change your perspective on this "evil".
