Format:DVD
Another slice of Alex Haley's history an important view into a difficult period in time, where slavery was coming to an end and and love across the cultures produced children of mixed blood. Queen is born into a world where her father is a slave owner and her mother a slave. Queen's parent's share a strong love for each other but can never be together publicly.
Queen begins life in a slave shack with her mother and grandfather, while her father lives in the big house on the plantation with his parents. Queen does not know who her father is at this point.
Her father is forced to marry and has a child with his wife, Queen is taken from her mother (at the age of 4 approx) and moved to the house to become the slave to her half sister, but is hated by her fathers wife.
The story continues to take you on an epic journey that is compelling and heart breaking.
A very worthwhile watch.

If you like 'Alex Haleys' mini series 'Roots', you will like this one, this is about a young girl born from slavery into being a free women, with all the troubles that go with it for those times, I also found that the lovely 'Halle Berry', who plays 'Queen', is brilliant in this,she really put her heart & soul into this part, it is one to watch.I would highly recommend this DVD for most age groups. Also would recommend this seller.The only thing I would like to add is: that this is a region 1 DVD, but will play on a mulit DVD player in UK if you have one, I watched it on my one with no problems at all, so just be aware that not all UK DVD players will play this.
Format:DVD
i love period films and also films that depects the life of slaves around the time of the american civil war. this film is true to fosm from that time. halle berry is one my favourite actors and takes her characters serous.
