Moving, lyrical, emotive film adaptation of Haley's award-winning true story that everyone needs to see. It captures a huge chunk of world, American & African history; a mirror on the pillaging of Africa's treasure- its people.

This is one of the best movies ever made. Not only does it have a riveting storyline but it also has a stunning cast of African American actors and actresses. I saw this movie back in the 70's and some of the images still haunt me to this day. 10/10

My senior history class just finished watching Roots last week. At first i was dreading having to watch this mini series but as we got further into the show it got really interesting. Some of the historical facts are off but over all its a great insight into slavery and its impact on a family. Best movie ive watched ever in school! Now its time to write my paper on it....i give this mini series 10/10
