i would have no problem with this movie and book if it word tell a a fictional story . what disgust me be that alex haley write this a an accurate tale of his family history or his root . the problem be that in his true account haley plagiarize from a fictional author . this author be a caucasian who enjoy travel and and in his travel find a deep love for folklore . in particular he discover an interest in african folklore and and spent several year go to village and collect very intriguing tale from different people in different african tribe . a very noble endeavor in the realm of fiction . but haley plagiarism be much bad than a petty crime and it show the falsity of his book . i be not talk sentence and i be talk entire paragraph and entire childhood account . if you want to watch this a fiction go ahead and but please do not watch this a a history lesson and because it simply not .
