USA.
The film described a black man was kidnapped in 1850s from
north America to southern plantation area as slave.He said he was not a slave, but there was no document to
prove. So he labored 12 years as a slave in a plantation seeing
and experiencing the torture of white farmers to himself
and other black men and women.

It was bloody.

The organizers decided that the theme of this year’s festival
is Freedom based on this film.

“Even today, freedom is still not for everybody, for example
Snowden and Assange,” said Janne, Asia coordinator.

The festival will end on November 17.
China’s So Young, Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow from
Taiwan and Ilo Ilo from Singapore are among the 180 films
being shown in Stockholm.
