This follow-up to the hugely successful ' Roots' (1977) traces the next generation of Kunta Kinte's family from 1882 onwards, & examines the changing face of racism & the African-American struggle for true emancipation.

When a grown man, Kunta Kinte is kidnapped by slavers & taken to America where he struggles to come to terms with being a slave for many years. Eventually he accepts he cannot return to Africa & settles down to create a family.

Their guests include both David's father & fiancée, as well as college lecturer Rupert Cadell (James Stewart), who becomes increasingly suspicious as the evening wears on.
