Based on a true story, 12 Years a Slave follows the troubles of a black American man who is dragged into slavery. When he heads to play the violin with his company in Washington, D.C., two men kidnap him and bring him to New Orleans. Here, slavery is legal and he's trapped. He spends twelve years enduring the brutality of slavery until one day it all changes. 12 Years a Slave is about the evil reality of slavery and what it meant in the United States for centuries. It's also a story of human redemption and the power of hope.
