Steve McQueen directed 12 Years a Slave, an adaptation of the memoir Solomon Northup published in 1853, in which a free black man is kidnapped and sold into slavery. The movie doesn't shy away from depicting the brutal realities of plantation life, with Lupita Nyong'o winning an Oscar for a heartbreaking portrayal of Patsey. With Hans Zimmer's haunting score, this biopic is a great history lesson and a gut-wrenching reminder of human resilience and injustice.
