Review of 12 Years a Slave

12 Years A Slave is what I would call a modern masterpiece.
This heartbreaking movie tells the story about the darkest page of the US's history and about degraded people fighting for their freedom and a decent life.
Still, people never cease to fight for the true happiness. Somewhere in our "civilized" world today, in Ukraine, Egypt, Turkey, Thailand etc. people are consistently fighting for justice, democracy and identity.
