Kunta Kinte


Roots: The Saga of American Family

Hey ols. This is the latest DVD box i bought yesterday. Original copy (maksud yg lebih tepat: cetak rompak yang gambaqnya memang power, plus subtitle of 8 different languages, thriller of the series and commentator of the cast) Price is very affordable: rm66. Definitely will go there again, gosh, mamat Cina tu ble tahan gak rupenya.. cute and very kiddy and tersangatlah peramahlah adanya. Hey, this is "kinda" Pengguna Bijak, Faedahnya Banyak, ek. Well let just put it this way, no matter wat u buy, makes sure its worth of money. This DVD box cost me only 60 bucks, and hey, they just look soooo original, the box is transparent and sooo thick. Am i good or wat??? Watevaaaa!

So those who doesnt know about the DVD Box set i bought, the series is called "ROOTS". It was originally run in 1977. Ask ur parent, sure they'll knew. Its a period piece about about slavery traders back to African in 1767. The book was originally written by Alex Haley.

Brought up on the stories of his elderly female relatives, including his Grandmother Cynthia, who was emancipated from slavery with her family in 1865, Alex Haley purported to have traced his family history back to "the African," Kunta Kinte , captured by slave traders in 1767. For generations, each of Kunta's enslaved descendants passed down an oral history of Kunta's experiences as a free man in Gambia, along with the African words he taught them. Haley researched African village customs, slave-trading and the history of Blacks in America, as well as made a personal visit to the griot (oral historian) of his ancestor's African village, to produce this colorful rendering of his family's history from the mid-eighteenth century through the mid-twentieth century.

Soooo, that would be my activity for the whole next week, DVD MARATHON, Yaay!

Enjoy your weekend! Woohooo!

POWER TO THE PEEPS!
