This is a very good movie. Watched it many years ago and wanted to watch it again.

I grew up with the original Roots series with Levar Burton and it was great. The characters are engaging and you care about them. This series didn't make me think of the characters, all I truly remember from it was the screaming and anger from the characters, it was done in the spirit of the times which seems to be all about arrogance and anger. From all my research into slavery I don't get the impression that the slave had that much power to do anything about their plight. But at least this series did give me a feel of the wanton greed and ignorance that surrounded the institution of slavery from that period in history.
