"Days ago I was with my family, in my home. Now you tell me all is lost? Tell no one who I am, that's the way to survive. Well, I don't wanna survive. I wanna live." "I will survive! I will not fall into despair! I will keep myself hardy til' freedom is opportune" Two of the best qoutes I know. I'm a huge movie nerd and this film is one of my absolute favorites! It's so sad, based on a true story, but most of all it shows the will not to give up when everything feels lost. - @Friday, December 7, 2018 3:55 PM

In the 1990’s a friend of mine was driving through a small town in Oklahoma. She wanted to buy something to eat, they would not serve her and told her it would be better if she did not stay. As I said this is the 1990’s not the 1890’s. I doubt if it has changed much. - @Tuesday, November 27, 2018 11:36 PM

I remember i watched a bit of this movie. And i have yet to watch it full. The way they made this movie is so heavy but honestly a GREAT movie. In school slavery has always been a touchy subject. Just the fact that i grew up around Black family while i was younger ( no im not black but grew up in a black/latino church, we all family) So once i got older and learned about slavery that shit is heartbreaking. I still dont understand how people could just torture a living human being just for the color of their skin, like this man was KIDNAPPED . I see it today happening, not literal slavery but they get looked at different when going in the store or walking around like WTF?! It pistes me off. But i just pray God heals everyone from this sickness and gives us PEACE. - @Thursday, November 15, 2018 3:42 PM

This movie is incredible !!! So emotional !! - @Monday, November 12, 2018 7:58 PM

SergeantSilly

This is one of those movies where you just sit down and watch without moving, feeling totally frozen until the end. The fact that it´s based on true events makes it 10 times heavier to watch. There is absolutly no way to apologize for what my race has done to the african american people. Slavery is by far ONE of the worst things that humans have ever done to their brothers and sisters. To say one human is worth less then the other just because of his skin colour is ridiculous. - @Monday, November 12, 2018 7:31 AM

Black people are still living in chains. The laws of today are new to keep black people down. Police brutality is legal If it's towards blacks..recent cases have shown that. The incarceration system..The 13th amendment is to keep a black person as a slave. As Malcolm X said "White racism is like a Cadillac, there is a new version very year " - @Sunday, November 11, 2018 8:46 PM

These kinds of stories transcend cinema. They demand what truth we have in our souls to surface so that we may see how precious and utterly delicate is this gift of life. No matter who you are or where you come from, you are a miracle. See the big picture. All we have in this unfathomably large universe is eachother. This film broke my heart. - @Thursday, November 1, 2018 7:18 AM

What makes this movie intense is that it's "Based on True Events"... all of the suffering plus misery must be held accounted for so we can improve our world. - @Thursday, October 25, 2018 3:46 AM

Epic movie. The writer must have personally connected with that life struggle in some sense. Bloody battle that civil war was. Almost 700k white guys took each other out over it. Too bad Lincoln was murdered right after the war was over. What a decent virtuous and noble man. But then they got his killer John Wilkes Booth and took him out so justice was served. - @Sunday, October 21, 2018 4:57 AM
