Key Points:
- the story line of the film connects not to your knowledge of slavery but to your feelings of it
- there is modern meaning to society by the place that every single character is at in their life
- the pictures in the film and that are painted in your mind as the viewer presents slavery as a system nothing embellished at all
- the recreation of Solomon's story in the timeline and explanation of everyday of enslaved life
- the acting and portrayal is so raw that it seems to be able to get out of the control of the director

“12 Years a Slave” isn’t the first movie about slavery in the United States — but it may be the one that finally makes it impossible for American cinema to continue to sell the ugly lies it’s been hawking for more than a century. Written by John Ridley and directed by Steve McQueen, it tells the true story of Solomon Northup, an African-American freeman who, in 1841, was snatched off the streets of Washington, and sold.
The movie " 12 years a slave" that was written by John Ridley and directed by Steve McQueen follows the tragic and real life of a free black man named Solomon Northrup in 1841, living Washington was captured and enslaved for 12 years. while the film wasn't groundbreaking because it was on slavery it, its because it unveiled the truth that entertainment was too scared to tell their audiences.

Good separation and quality of sources, just be sure not to forget to show that you know exactly what the direct quote is talking about, because it is all by itself without an explanation of what it means.
