Secrets Behind The Making Of 12 Years A Slave
12 Years A Slave is the film that put Academy Award winning actress Lupita Nyong’o on the world stage. Her first feature film, which earned her Best Supporting Actress in a Supporting Role and won an Oscar for Best Picture, was directed by Steve McQueen and written by John Ridley. Based on Solomon Northrup’s virtually unknown 1853 book chronicling his horrendous journey from being a free man to being kidnapped, stolen from his family, and sold into slavery in Louisiana, 12 Years A Slave is an uncomfortable and terribly important narrative. Because of the film, and thanks to the effort of Steve McQueen, Northrup’s book is now being taught in high schools throughout the country.
