Customer Reviews

This movie is an African American classic worth owning!
I watched this movie in the 90's and convinced my family to watch it, as well. Movie is well-told and heart felt. It convinced me to begin researching and documenting my own family tree. Thus far, I've researched back to my great great grandparents! As far as I know I'm the first,in my family, to commit it to writing.

I encourage anyone, especially of African American descent, to not only watch this movie but own it.

The Best movie ever made about slavery
Even better than roots. It is raw, shocking & pulls no punches. Too often our story is not told by us, but by outsiders. Haile Gerima makes a classic narrative that does not sugar coat the legacy of america.

Recommended viewing for all people of African desecent.

Excellent movie, Everything I thought it would be and more
I enjoyed this DVD.

In fact I was able to get my wife to watch and she liked it also.

If you're interested in Afrocentic values or black history. This is a good movie to watch.

For the person in school studying African American history, you should include this in your studies.
