About
"Could there be a worthy follow-up to the most-watched miniseries ever? 'We felt the other did so well,' Alex Haley said, 'that we should just let it hang there.' But Haley began carrying around a tape recorder, dictating more of his family's tales as they came to his memory. Those remembrances filled a 1,000-page transcript: raw material for Roots: The Next Generations. Winner of the Emmy for Best Limited Series, this landmark continuation of a landmark event - with 53 stars and 235 speaking parts - 'is in many respects a superior achievement,' Newsweek said in comparing this to Roots. Twenty-five years later, it has lost none of its dramatic and emotional power to make us confront history and examine ourselves. One man's family remains everyone's!"--Container.
