Overview
Den episke fortælling om den Pulitzer-prisvindende forfatter Alex Haleys forfædre som portrætteret i den roste tolv timers miniserie Roots, blev først fortalt i hans bestseller Roots: The Saga of an American Family fra 1976. Doku-dramaet dækker en historie, der begynder i midten af 1700-tallets Gambia, Vestafrika og slutter under USA efter borgerkrigen, over 100 år senere. Denne miniserie fra 1977 vandt til sidst 9 Emmy-priser, en Golden Globe-pris og en Peabody-pris, og står stadig som den mest sete miniserie i amerikansk historie.
