Finally!!!! The highly-acclaimed film, 12 Years A Slave shall be officially screened on Kenyan soil on Friday 24 January at Century Cinemax, The Junction Mall.
The film, which tells the harrowing real life story of Solomon Northup,
just scooped a Best Drama award at the Golden Globes and features our
very own Lupita Nyong’o.
Directed by Steve McQueen, 12 Years A Slave
has been hailed as one of the most important moments in film and world
history with heartrending performances by Lupita and fellow cast members
Chiwetel Ejiofor, Michael Fassbender and Brad Pitt.
Crimson Multimedia is the team responsible for having the film brought
home. Citing issues with South African distributors that caused them to
miss the lucrative December window, MD Jayesh Patel was still looking forward to showing the film to a local audience.
Like all other films, 12 Years a Slave shall have a two-week
run at Century Cinemax. However, Jay stated that it could be longer if
demand for the film rose beyond that period.
