  The inhuman system of slavery that caused one person be owned by another was a system of racial dominance. Dominance that exists to date in Western societies and penetrates all institutions from education to law to media to cinema. In the fresh episode of Akkad Bakkad, Vijay Sharma, Sahej Aziz and Puneet Kusum discuss two films depicting the horrors of slavery, made on the same novel 'Twelve Years A Slave', by two different directors in different years. The films are 'Solomon Northup's Odyssey' and 'Twelve Years A Slave' and they traverse the life journey of Solomon Northup, who is kidnapped and pushed into slavery. Do watch the films and tune in to listen to this podcast. पोषम पा के पॉडकास्ट अक्कड़ बक्कड़ में सुनिए विजय, सहज और पुनीत को बात करते हुए दो फ़िल्मों पर, जो एक ही किताब 'ग़ुलामी के बारह साल' पर आधारित हैं। ये फ़िल्में हमें बारह साल के उस काल-खण्ड में ले जाती हैं, जिसमें सोलोमन नोरथप नाम के अफ़्रीकी-अमेरिकी व्यक्ति को ग़ुलाम बनाकर क़ैद रखा जाता है। साथ ही ये फ़िल्में हमें सोलोमन की आज़ादी से ग़ुलामी और फिर से आज़ादी तक की इस यात्रा की भयावह तस्वीरें दिखाती चलती हैं!
