Dear Editor,
For those of you who are interested in history and are really curious to know what slavery possibly was like, check out this cinematographic masterpiece, Twelve Years A Slave by Steve McQueen.
This guy is such an artist that he not only reveals graphically the indescribable pornographical nature, and inhumanity of slavery, but he at the same time manages to keep our rage from exploding as a tiger-catcher would defang the savage beast.
McQueen manages both to rile up our emotions and energise our intellect. We are, on one hand, horrified and shocked by the brutality of slavery, but on the other hand glad that we saw the movie.
For, this well-choreographed gladiatorial spectacle, with all its tragic consequences for both black and brown bodies -- and white commercial interests -- gives us the determination and the strength to say 'never again must such a thing happen'.
