Loved the final chapters for Alex Haley's hunt for Kunte Kinte and the complete family lineage. I always appreciate the importance put on a close family way of life. When a person gets near the end of their life, its nice to look back and determine how they contributed to the family's name and values. It hurt to see the bigotry and racial harm to each of the family member.s lives, but each test and trial seemed to make them stronger and more determined to carry on to their successful finish. The movie impacted my life, thoroughly enjoyed it, and will watch it again many times in the future.

Awesome presentation! Great writing and helping people see the significance of their history of their family. Roots the next generation helped put the finishing touches on an already epic film of roots. Nothing like knowing where you came from!

It's very happy that it was brand new because most of the DVDs that I buy on eBay are not new. Also I love this series when I was a kid and I loved it just as much now as I did then which is a lot. π I think it's important for us to know the things that really happened in the past and this series really helps to put a lot of things into perspective.

One of the best dramas I have ever seen, viewers must see the whole series, Roots, The Next Generation, and Queen. We could not believe that we have watched all the collection in 2 days, over Memorial weekend. The script, the scenario, the stars, the director, and the sequence of events keep you on the edge... I have watched this live back in the seventies, but as I watched it for the first time. Alex Haley teaches us to not forget your roots and always keep yourself linked to your ancestors to keep the legacy going, regardless of your race, religion, or ethnicity. Nowadays, people are so involved with self-indulgence, technology, and swallowed in the tide of the capitalistic winds. Such movies put the brake on our way of life and make us be humans again. It is an inspirational story that must be a catalyst every once in a while.Read full review
