JOHN RIDLEY (SCREENPLAY); SOLOMON NORTHUP (BIOGRAPHY)

12 Years a Slave poster

The job of adapting a biography as important as Solomon Northup’s 12 Years a Slave must have come with it incredible pressure.

Yet an exceptional job  did prolific screenwriter John Ridley do, bringing forth that stoic persistence and faith found in Northup’s character, as well as the crippling weight of violent atrocities both physical and spiritual as found in the slave trade.

As such Ridley’s script is not only an adaptation of Solomon Northup’s words, but also a tribute to the man’s spirit and condemnation of the world he survived.
