The Saga of an American Family.
Kunta Kinte, un chico que, en 1767, fue raptado en África y trasladado a América, se negó siempre a aceptar su nombre de esclavo (Toby). Sus descendientes mantuvieron vivo su heroico sentido de la rebeldía, susurrando su nombre generación tras generación hasta que llegó a oídos de Alex Haley, un chico de Tennessee, que dio a conocer la epopeya de Kunta Kinte a través de su novela "Raíces" (ganadora del premio Pulitzer). Marcó un hito en la televisión americana al convertirse en el programa más visto hasta ese momento.
