12 years a slave

12 years a slave is a very emotional, touching movie. Back in the 1800 in the United States, New York City, Solomon Northup who is a free black man gets kidnapped in Washington D.C. Solomon has a beautiful wife and a child that loves him and he was a brilliant violinist but after the show he gets to be sold into a slave because of a white people. He worked in a Louisiana for twelve years until he gets released. He gets renamed as a Platt because the slaves in there had to get renamed and they always did. Slaves there must pick at least 200 pounds of cotton every day and the slave's owners hit them, punched them and slapped them. Solomon really misses his family but there is no way to get out until he gets released and he doesn't know when he is going to get released. Finally, after him being a slave for 12 years, he returns to his family.
