12 years a slave


12 Years a Slave is a very sad and emotional and was directed by Steve McQueen and produced by Brad Pitt. he lived with his family in new york in 1841 . The white people didn’t treat the black people very nicely and all the slaves were repeatedly beaten and hit. The movie is based on a true extraordinary true story . A African American called Solomon Northup,  he was kidnapped and sold into slavery. He worked as a slave for 12 years before he was released . 12 years a slave was named best film of the year by several media outlets. the movie was sold to box office and clammed lots of money.  The slaves must pick at least 200 pounds of cotton every day or then are beaten with whips. He was an excellent violin player. They were also chained up.

  1. Good job Marieka. I like the start of the post. But I found the ending a bit confusing because you changed subject. Other than that good job.
