"Roots" created television history when it aired in 1977 on ABC and pulled in an unprecedented audience share. Now the miniseries that launched the career of LEVAR BURTON -- "Roots" and "Roots: The Next Generation" -- is available in one DVD collection. Based on the novel by ALEX HALEY, "Roots" is the story of Kunta Kinte, a young West African who was captured and brought to the United States as a slave. The collection also includes several special features, including a DAVID FROST interview with Haley.
