Enlightening recounting of Solomon Northup's experience as he was tricked and sold into slavery, being a free man of the state of New York. He spent twelve years in bondage serving several masters. Through all of his painful ordeals and being separated from his wife and children, a small flicker of hope and his faith kept him going until one day he meets someone he feels he can trust with his story and who will assist in getting him home!
