Roots starts off around 1750 when an African baby is born called Kunta Kinte and follows his life. He gets enslaved by slavers when he's 15 and is taken to America where he is sold at a slave market to a Virginian tobacco business man. From there we follow Kunta all the way through to old age and beyond...
She played a small role as Binta, shown here (Maya Angelou in the bg), after giving birth to Kunta Kinte.
