  • The title Roots tells how it all began in Africa, how those people they became slaves. Great title

    I watched this movie when it came out on tv, which was very a good movie series, only I missed a couple of series then. Now when I watched this somehow missed several episodes. Will have to watch this again and make sure watch everything.

  • Great!

    This is a great story and I can remember watching it on TV years ago. I also have Roots The Next Generation which completes the tale. Definitely a thought provoking story.

  • So Much Better than the Remake

    This original series is so much better than the terrible new version that was presented on the History Channel in 2016. This one gives honor and respect to Alex Haley, who was one of the really fine and important writers of the 20th century. Why they thought they had to change so much of Haley's work in this new version is beyond my understanding. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

  • Great Overview but dated

    The series demonstrates a good arc of history of Black Americans over multiple generations. Every segment features multiple stars. The only drawback is that the acting styles and production techniques seem dated. Of course, it is more than 40 years old.
