Imagine one day you're a free man, the next you become a slave... a property of the other person...

This is a true story about a black, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) who was kidnapped and sold as a slave. He was sent away from his family, his friends, his life and everything was once belong to him. He merely survive through threaten, pain, struggles and hopeless years of twelves.

| Slaves |
History of slavery had reveal how ugly a human could be. In the bottom of heart, we know which is wrong but we still followed blindly and forgiving ourselves with excuses. Even today, "slavery" is still exists around us. Typically women and child abuse, animal abuse, racism, homophobia, and all sort of social issues, are happening everyday. In the movie, Solomon was eventually saved by a Canadian abolitionist (Brad Pitt) after 12 years. However, there were so many other slaves, who were not as "lucky" as Solomon and were even suffered to death.
Taken away our name, identity, race, gender, nationality, money, we are all the same, human. No human is less than a human. The resources on our mother of earth is more than enough to cater the needs of everyone, but never adequate to fulfill the desire of a single man.
