Partially filmed at Bocage Plantation in Darrow, 12 Years a Slave offers a unique perspective of Ascension Parish in the larger history of race and space.
12 Years a Slave is a masterpiece that transports viewers to the antebellum United States, offering a haunting portrayal of Solomon Northup's true story. Captivating performances from an ensemble cast, including Chiwetel Ejiofor, Lupita Nyong'o, and Michael Fassbender, bring to life the brutality of slavery and the unbreakable bonds of community and hope. Join us for a powerful cinematic experience as we commemorate Black History Month with a special screening of the critically acclaimed film and a discussion with the film’s location manager, M. Gerard Sellers.
This film is rated R for moderate violence, sexual references, crude comments and language, and intense scenes.
Our Dutchtown location was built in 2010 under the direction of Angelle Deshautelles, Director.
