Trivia
Of the seven titles directed by Steve McQueen through 1993 (including short films), this movie is the first which does not have a one-word title.
'Twelve Years a Slave' was the debut as an actress for Lupita Nyong'o, and she won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar.
The tree where Solomon sees several men being lynched was actually used for lynching and is surrounded by the graves of murdered slaves.
