12 years a slave

12 Years a Slave is a movie about a man named Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) a skilled carpenter and fiddle player. Living with his wife and two children in Saratoga Springs, New York. Two men (Scoot McNairy and Taran Killam) offer him a two-week job as a musician, but they drug Northup and he wakes up in chains, about to be sold into slavery. He is shipped to New Orleans, and is renamed "Platt", the identity of a runaway slave from Georgia. Beaten repeatedly, he is ultimately purchased by plantation owner William Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch). This is a excellent movie directed by Steve McQueen and starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Cumberbatch and Michael Fassbender. This is a great movie and highly recommended.
