Yep. Super depressing. Made my family look like The Waltons.

I have to gear up to see 12 Years a Slave. I don't think I can see it the theatre and will wait for DVD. I can watch family or personal drama/anguish/dysfunction no problem, but massive injustice and inhumanity on a social/political scale is hard for me to watch.
