Based upon the beloved characters from Alex Haley's groundbreaking miniseries Roots, this touching TV movie unfolds on Christmas Eve 1770, as a young African warrior, who had been captured three years earlier and sold into slavery in America, leads a desperate group of runaway slaves attempting to reach freedom in the North. Relive the magic of the historic television phenomenon Roots in this touching family drama featuring performances by Oscar® and Emmy® Award winner Louis Gossett Jr. and Emmy® nominee LeVar Burton.
The epic tale of celebrated Pulitzer-prize winning author Alex Haley's ancestors as portrayed in the acclaimed twelve hour mini-series Roots, was first told in his 1976 bestseller Roots: The Saga of an American Family. The docu-drama covers a period of history that begins in mid-1700s Gambia, West Africa and concludes during post-Civil War United States, over 100 years later. This 1977 miniseries eventually won 9 Emmy awards, a Golden Globe award, and a Peabody award, and still stands as the most watched miniseries in U.S. history.

OmgBest movie series ever!!!!!... Besides twilight saga:).Score: 5/5
Eh.My teacher showed part of this mini-series in class recently and explained to us how this opened many people's eyes to slavery and how horrible it was. Although it proves a strong point and is very educational, it tends to be a bit graphic (visually and some of the topics discussed) and is not suitable for younger children. Ratings are there for a reason! It was so-so considering how special effects in televison shows and films have improved drastically in the last few decades..Score: 3/5
AMAZING!When I was younger my family and I watched this movie series. It has a really good meaning and everybody should watch it to see how badly slaves were treated, and how people were torn away from their family just because some white man needed work done from a african American slave... Anyways.... everybody should buy it and watch it... it is tear jerking, outrageous, and unfair... but interesting!!.Score: 5/5
