12 Years a Slave

In time, people will realize 12 Years a Slave was the Crash of 2013.

Comparing 12 Years a Slave with Gordon Parks's Solomon Northup's Odyssey.

Where's the Agency?

As I've read elsewhere, will they ever show a movie about Nat Turner?

Also, Stanley Crouch mentioned in a recent column that in 1984 Gordon Parks made a movie for PBS based on Solomon Northrup's life. It's probably a lot different from 12 Years a Slave.
