![Roots: The Gift [VHS]](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51289Z48VSL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_ML2_.jpg)
I am a huge fan of Roots Vol 1-6 that was introduced to me during a High School history class in 1995. Supringly it was not until Christmas 2002 that I discovered RTG. The story of RTG takes places sometime in between Vol II and III. Levar Burton returns as Kunta, and Louis Gossett Jr. returns as the Fidler. I do not wish to give the entire plot away, but will say that Kunta gets another shot as escape (as well as Fidler) but turns down the opportunity. The plot and story on this one was not quite as good as the others, but the director seems to be of the same quality, and the music score is also the same. The feel of the film is like the others. However outside of Levar and Louis all the actors are different. One of the actors laters goes on to play in the X-files.
However I will say that this movie tires allot faster than the other Roots. My other gripe is the lack of this movie on DVD. It should have beeen released on DVD by this time.
