Official synopsis
Após uma longa pausa na direção de filmes, Gordon Parks realizou um filme para a televisão baseado na autobiografia Doze Anos de Escravidão, de 1853, escrita por Solomon Northup. Baseado nas memórias do escritor, o longa é a história real de um homem negro livre que foi sequestrado em 1841 e vendido como escravizado. Northup vivia em Saratoga, Nova Iorque, onde trabalhava como carpinteiro e violinista para sustentar a sua família. Após 12 anos como escravizado na Louisiana, fugiu, reuniu-se com sua família e escreveu o livro que se tornou uma ferramenta influente para os abolicionistas.
