The name says it all. You know from the name of the movie itself what you are upto watch. Based on a true story it takes us back to 1800's and introduces us to Solomon and many like him subjected in the vicious and cruel world of slavery by fraud and kidnapping. Its a story of seperation, hardship, inhumanity, injustice, social discrimination, fight to rise and most importantly survival.
Masterclass performances by Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o and rest of the crew. It doesnt look like a movie but rather looks like you are witnessing reality.
Great movie.
