Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ko tētahi o ngā kaupapa pouaka whakaata nui rawa o ngā wā katoa kei te whakaarohia anō mō ngā kaimātakitaki hou. Ko "Roots", te raupapa torutoru nui e pā ana ki tētahi pononga Āwherika-Āmerika me ōna uri, he hunga mātakitaki nui atu i te 100 miriona i te tau 1977. Inaianei kei te whakahoutia e ngā whatunga A&E te raupapa iti, hei whakaputa i te tau 2016. I kii a A&E, Lifetime me te History (i mua ko te History Channel) i te Taite ka tukuna e nga whatunga e toru he whakahoutanga o te korero mo Kunta Kinte, he tangata Awherika i hopukina, i tukuna ki Amerika ka hokona hei pononga ki te mahi i runga i te tipu o Virginia. Ko LeVar Burton, nana nei i whakaahuatia a Kinte i te taketake, hei kaiwhakanao-whakahaere mo te raupapa hou. I whakaahuatia e tētahi pānuitanga pānuitanga te putanga hou hei "tuatahi" me te "honohono" a ka nui ake te tuhi mai i te pukapuka tawhito a Alex Haley, "Roots: The Saga of an American Family". Ka kōrero ngā kaiwhakaputa ki ngā tohunga o Awherika me Awherika-Ā-Māori mō te pono ake. "Kei te whakapehapeha matou ki te kawe mai i tenei korero ki nga kaiwhaiwhai o te taketake, tae atu ki te whakatupuranga hou ka wheako i tenei korero kaha me te kaha mo te wa tuatahi", e kii ana a Dirk Hoogstra, te perehitini tuarua o te hitori me te kaiwhakahaere matua. "Ka rongo anō te hunga whakarongo i te pānga o te wairua kaha o Kunta Kinte". Ko te kaiwhakanao whakahaere a Mark Wolper, tama a te kaiwhakanao taketake a David L. Wolper, i kii, "I tiimata a Kunta Kinte ki te korero i tana korero mo te 200 tau ki muri, ana ko taua korero i puta mai i tana whanau whanau, ki a Alex Haley, ki taku papa, ana inaianei kei a au te mana. Ka rite ki a Kunta Kinte i whawhai ki te korero i tana korero i nga wa katoa, me pera ano tatou. " Ka tutaki te "Roots" hou ki te whakatupuranga hou o nga kaimātakitaki i kite i a Barack Obama e mahi ana i te hitori hei perehitini tuatahi o Awherika-Amerika o te motu, me te "12 Years a Slave" e wikitoria ana i te Oscar mo te Ataata Pai rawa atu, engari ano hoki te riri iwi whanui mo te maimoatanga a te pirihimana ki nga whakapae pango i roto i nga taone nui o Amerika. "I tīmata taku mahi ki te 'Roots' a he whakapehapeha ahau ki te whai wāhi ki tēnei whakarerekētanga hou", ko tā Burton.
