12 Years a Slave premiered on HBO last night. I watched it for a second time and it certainly holds up. I still think Chiwetel Ejiofor deserved the Best Actor Oscar.
Vanity Fair had an article Finding the Real Patsey of 12 Years a Slave "With 12 Years a Slave putting Solomon Northup’s story in the spotlight, Katie Calautti attempts to discover the fate of Patsey—and learns just how impossible it can be to find one woman when that woman was a slave."

There has been some luck with discovering Patsey's fate. Apparently she was taken away from the Epps plantation by Union soldiers. See: http://hikeghosttowns.com/patsey.htm
