    2445 Words  | 10 Pages

    Trudell asks the audience to recount an ugly period in U.S history in order to gain a better understanding of the devastation that took place. For centuries, the Government has built an image of the Native people as one of uncivilized savages and though the years has portrayed them as the cause of the average American’s suffering in order to bring genocide against them with minimal resistance for the public.

    This incredible movie is written by John Ridley and directed by Steve McQueen. It was released in 2013 and it is based on the insightful autobiography of Solomon Northrup, who was an African American man living in New York in the beginning of the 1800’s. This movie’s excruciating and authentic portrayal of how slavery was exercised greatly in America is not only heartbreaking, but also an important eye-opener for the people who are ignorant on the subject of slavery and who are not aware of the extreme circumstances the African slaves were forced under in over two centuries. Watching this movie’s portrayal of Solomon’s tragic story and seeing how his autobiography was turned into a painfully beautiful and powerful masterpiece was indeed one hell of an emotional ride.
