Anyone that does not care for remakes will automatically give this a thumbs down, but I can guarantee you, they went into this remake for the wrong reasons with the wrong ideas. This remake was meant to touch on subjects that could not be told or shown in the original because of those times, and I do believe they did a tremendous job. Every actor in this series told each story quite well, and I most certainly loved how they encouraged you to take these DNA tests during advertisement to find out who you are. There are so many "not another slave movie" fanatics now, that if they had watched this movie, I believe they would be very ashamed that they would have said it. The movie/story was not made to get you angry as tough as it was to watch, but it was meant to inspire, to teach us not to complain, and to be better. Our ancestors had a very tough time, but through it all still managed to love one another and stick together, even when they had to be separated, but here we are "not wanting to be reminded". A+ for the production. The screenplay was on point, and I will be adding the movie to my collection, and encourage younger people not to be ashamed and always find strength from any situation you face
