Based on the 1853 memoir by Solomon Northup. According to that book, Northup was a free black man who was conned by two white men and sold into slavery.
A pamphlet against slavery, with implausibilities which range from the obvious (e.g., a sailor killing a valuable slave with no reasonable cause) to the subtler (general psychological characterizations, details of the plot). An interesting review was published in the user review section of this film's IMDB page, under the nickname Ashley Blanner (but the correspondent user page identifies him (or her) as robinbishop34). Said review has several sections of text which are identical to another review written by American writer Steve Sailer.
