My husband loves Roots, he never gets tried of watching it

A very good series after Roots which extends the family legacy of triumph over oppression.

A wonderful people I'm happy they are happy nowadays.!!!

Good deal

I ordered this complete disc cd about 4 days ago, it arrived 2/22/2011. I remember watching this as If I was 10 yrs old again, how it brought back memories to me from my past. The struggle my mother had to go through going to work and how my grandmother was still cleaning the white man's house for nearly 50 yrs. I'm grateful to be able to experience this saga with my children (black men) ages 16 & 23. We watch chapter 1 and my boys were very upset and thought about how their life would of been if it wasn't for change in America. ALthough, Mr. Haley isn't here and has been dead for some time, he is still in my prayers and I thank him for teaching and letting us visualize how the 1800's was. I grew up with my Great-Grandparents who were born in 189o's and listen to all their stories. (They past when I was a freshman in HS 1983) they lived to be both 93 & 94. The only regret that I have, that I didn't start to write facts about my history until later in live.(I'm 41 now)so I can track to see where their parents came from. I'm only 5 generations from slavery living and breathing in 2011. My grandmother who is 83 is still alive and so is my mother. Although, this is a pick up from ROOTS it's also amazing of how the white man changed and allowed us to work side by side with them. I cried at some parts last night, and I can't wait to get home to watch chap 2 with my boys this evening. This is a must see movie with your children. I will be ordering ROOTS so my son's will have it for their children to watch.

Nice work and perfect performance

I liked the miniseries very much. All the actors and actresses were outstanding in their respective roles. I cried when the white man abused Black people and I was angry when the N-word was used throughout the miniseries.

Great story about the history of Alex Haley's ancestry, recommended.

Habe mir diese Fortsetzung, die es im Fernsehen nicht gab, angeschaut

小学４年生の頃、学校から走って帰り、14か15時からテレビでＲＯＯＴＳを全部見ました。なぜ、そこまでして見たかったのか今では、よくわかりませんが、意味もあまり理解せず、見ましたあの感動をもう１度、味わいたいと、３年位前に全巻をすべて見て、あの感動が懐かしく思います。映画の見て、意味を理解し、製作者の糸を考えると1970年位の映画ですので、タイトルの表現から1970年（当時の現代）までの映画化があがされているのではないかと思いその続きがあるに違いないと調べましたところ、ありましたその名も『Roots The Next Generations』というタイトルでまさにRoots２、もしかして、日本でも放送されているのではないかと思い、調べたところ、ありました字幕か日本語言語かわかりませんが、テレビ朝日系列で1979年9月30日～10月7日にかけて放送されていたそうです。これは、現代版まで見たいと思い、アマゾンで調べても日本語言語も字幕もありませんが、英語版で購入できましたので、『リージョンコード 1』ではありますが、パソコンで見れるのでないかと思い、購入しました。最高です、感動しました（英語はよくわかりませんが、映像と英語字幕を見てですが）ついつい、いろんな観点から見たくなり、『アレックス･ヘイリーたちの家系図（Alex Halay's Family Tree）』を作り、年代別にこの映画のストーリーを調べることにし、映画を少し見ましたが、より理解が深まりました。この映画の作者はすごいの一言です。後にわかりましたが、この大変な映画は「ファクト」（事実）と「フィクション」を合わせた「ファクション」だと述べているが、作者を考えると、仕方ない問題であると、理解しました。やっぱり、一般人に受け入れられないと、映画って、いけないことですから、面白くろくないとだめですねきっと、作者だって、ファクト」（事実）と違うことを書きたくないと思うが、映画にする以上、一般人に受け入れなければならないからね※良いか悪いかわかりませんが、映画を見ながら家系図（Family Tree）も作りましたので、見てくださいね。ではこの辺で（see you）
