About this audiobook
In depicting American slavery, Hollywood has long left some of the most brutal realities largely unseen. But the filmmakers behind 12 Years a Slave tried not to flinch in showing the full system of human subjugation. Jeffrey Brown talks to screenwriter John Ridley about the challenge of humanizing a dehumanizing institution.
