by:
An ideal way to show the horror of slavery and how it affects a people. It also shows how one person can overcome any thing. Not advisable if squimish

From the very beginning this is a riveting series with many twists and turns I can honestly say that after I put it on I had to watch all 580 minutes of it.
If you get the chance to get hold of a copy do so.

Alex Haley's Roots DVDI remember the series being shown on television in the 1970's and loved it. As far as I know it has never been repeated on television so I decided to buy the DVD and watch it again. I couldn't believe how much of it I had forgotten over the last 30 years and I loved, and understood it, even more than before. I believe that it was one of the most popular mini series (if not the most popular) ever shown on television and I can recommend anyone who hasn't seen it to get hold of a copy - or even if you have seen it, watch it again.

This is a really hardhitting drama about slavery, love, compassion etc...
I watched this years ago with my parents and remember how awestruck and gripped I was, so I decided I had to have my own copy.
I would recommend this to everyone!!

excellent film!!
This film has fond memories for me. In my early teens my mother and I spend a whole girly day drinking tea and having snacks while watching the entire film.
I have bought it as a gift for her for christmas to tell her how special that one day was and that i will remember it for the rest of my life.

RootsReview created: 03/12/07

This is like having a little piece of my childhood back! It brings back wonderful memories of times spent with my mum nibbling on chocolates. This is the kind of mini-series that makes you laugh out loud, but also to cry your heart out at the way the slaves were treated in the southern states of America!
The characters are wonderfully believeable and watching this will not fail to touch the heart of even the 'hardest' person. Watch and learn!!

Great story and obviously was a talking point on its first showing some 25 years ago.
The serial still catches the attention of the plight of the Slave Trade in the USA.
Whilst storyline is very, very good ...the serial is starting to get dated.

I was very pleased with this item. I watched it on tv when I was very young and it made a lasting impression on me - I think it was the first time I ever knew about "slavery" as we were never taught in school. Now I have it on DVD I can watch it again at my leisure. Well worth the money!

Roots - Original Series - 25th Anniversary Edition (DVDI bought this, because when I was younger I remember watching it and never really understood it, but the names of the characters remind with me as I grew up ("Kunta Kinta" and Kizzy)
I really enjoyed this complete series, and would recommend it to every one of all ages, I found it very touching and cried at alot at the way they were treated, i thought it gave a true account of the slavery times.
I have looked in the shops over the years for this Video or DVD, but to no avail.
I was so pleased when I found it on E-Bay
There was nothing at all that I disliked about it i throughly enjoyed everything about it, Even the specail features at the end!!
