This film is a sad to watch. Because in this film all you are going to see is slaves getting treated differently from the white people. The main character was kidnapped in Saratoga New York. Solomon Northup was sold to the New Orleans and was given the nickname 'platt'.

The film is good but it is also hard to watch, because it is really true of what is shown in the film that those things actually happened to people. Solomon's wife and children got separated from each other. I know that they ae just acting, but these things actually really happened to people back in the day. Siblings not being able to be with each other.
