    I thought this movie was very well written. It is kind of long, but the storyline is wonderful & anything by Alex Haley is amazing!!!! I love watching real movies with real stories consisting of the history or America.

    Tyson played the role of a woman who was treated so poorly & had so many negative things happen, but still had faith it would get better. Her story in this movie should show people not to take things for granted & it is possible for things to get better.

    I thought all the characters had significant roles & problems. It just shows how much the world has changed since this time period.

    Based on the epic story by Roots author Alex Haley, this star powered miniseries is the sweeping chronicle of one family's unforgettable journey through the tragedies and triumphs of the 20th Century.

    With the standout cast including Academy Award nominee Cicely Tyson (Roots), Blair Underwood (Deep Impact), Queen Latifah (Living Out Load) and Mario Van Peebles (Highlander II), Flora's story begins amid the racial strife of the American south in the early 1900's. After losing her husband, Flora boldly heads north to make a fresh start. There she and her children are soon caught up in the struggles of the Great Depression, two devastating world wars and the chaos of the Civil Rights and Black Panther movements. On their generations-long quest for justice and identity in modern America, the only constant is Flora's unconditional love - a love that binds her beloved family with the one bond that can never be broken.
