TV series: Roots (Roots) (2016)

It's impossible to know. You can only tell her the legend: once there was a young man who was taken from relatives and was taken to the other end of the world, he survived and started his family and in this journey he became the hero of the new nation. I hope my story will honor his memory comfort us all and make you proud...

Look at the stars, baby. Because it's the only thing stronger than you...

Blessed is this land, because it buried my people. Blessed is the rain, because it washes their faces. Blessed is the wind, for he brings their names...

Sometimes it is not necessary to say what you have in mind.

You are a man of dishonor, Whether. You washed the dirt from his legs, but not his soul.

When something fascinates it, and it also is cheating.

- You know me since childhood.
I could trust the kid, but when people grow up - it is changing.

- I am not able to understand two things: when a man was mistreating loving woman.
- And the second?
And second, when a man does not appreciate a woman who is reading his thoughts.

They say that chickens are stupid, but the birds know who to trust, know who loves them. People often do stupid things when they find out the truth.

People say they know who I am - they don't know me. Say that I'm not a stranger, that they care about us... but so many people killed because of gossip yeah gossip. No one can be trusted. These birds can hurt my body but not my soul. I believe my birds and no one else.

Your son lives his life. It's time to love her.

Don't let yourself give up. Let your body will be put in chains, but your mind shackle will not.

Remember your true name, I too will remember. This is not your house, but here you have to live. I don't know what else to say. I just know that the rain that falls in Virginia, dry in the sun, climbs to the clouds, and then clouds float away and maybe they are sailing across the ocean to the river, which you call Gumby, Bolongo. And maybe the same rain that falls here, falls on your people, and I know they want you to live. And they know your real name is Kunta Kinte, son Omoro Kinte. Live, Kunta Kinte, live...

You should always remember their ancestors. Those who love and watch over you. Your name is your spirit. Your name is your shield.
