This week, we watch the best picture winner about the true story of Solomon Northup, a free black man from New York who gets abducted and sold into slavery. This movie is brutal and important, and should be on the short list of films that everyone from this country must see.  Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'O, and Michael Fassbender all put in career best performances.  12 Years a Slave (2013), directed by Steve McQueen.
