I watched Roots (1977) so you didn’t have to. Here’s my short and to-the-point review. (If you want to watch me react to movies like this, subscribe to the paid tier of my Substack: $5.00 a month, $50.00 for the year.)

Episode 5/6 was intense, but as usual, I ended up tearing up. It’s crazy how timeless this series is. The fact that we follow the full story from beginning to end is just beautiful. Chicken George wasn’t my favorite character, but he made the impossible possible for his family.
Incredible historic media… I’m still in awe.
