When the TV Series started I was hooked I watch it from beginning to end. That was the first time this subject was handled properly by the Film Industry. This probably the 8th copy of this I've purchased. I always end up giving it to a young person who has never seen it.

For a supposed accurate rendition of his family history of Alex Haley, this completely fabricated fictional story is as good as any other fictional tale on DVD. I absolutely like the characters Alex chose to plagiarize from the novel "The African" by Harold Courlander, and other sources. Which later, Alex Haley was sued for plagiarism and settled out of court for undisclosed amount. the fictional story called "ROOTS" is well done for a 70's movie.

the recent PBS special on "Roots" inspired me to get the series on E-Bay and watch it again for the first time since it originally aired on TV over 30 yrs ago... this time with my 14 yr old daughter. it's still an extremely powerful mini-series although somewhat tainted by the realization that it can no longer be considered to be an historical, semi-autobiographical true account of Alex Halley's family tree since he was found guilty of plagiarism and was required to pay restitution. that being said, it still has the power to move ANY man (black or white) to tears of joy and tears of pain and regret. if you've never experienced "Roots", you are surely missing out!
It was a little scratched up but it still works great I have been wanting to buy it forever my uncle and I used to watch it together but he is no longer here but I’m very happy that I got it
