"…ROOTS which will be simulcast also on Lifetime and A&E from May 30th! To air in two hour episodes in four days, it is a historical portrait of American slavery recounting the journey of one family and their will to survive and ultimately carry on their legacy despite hardship! With Malachi Kirby playing the lead role of Kunta Kinte, the star studded cast also includes Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Laurence Fishburne, James Purefoy, Mehki Phifer and Matthew Goode!"

Wasn't Kunta Kinte a fabrication of the authors mind in relation to his 'family' tree similar to King Arthur was my Great grandfather x 10.
Sort of a fantasy trip on reality and claiming it as your own identity.
