FINDING YOUR ROOTS

The basic drive to discover who we are and where we come from is at the core of this 10-part PBS series FINDING YOUR ROOTS with Henry Louis Gates, Jr. Continuing on the quest begun in his previous projects, African American Lives (2006), African American Lives 2 (2008) and Faces of America (2010), Gates finds new ways to, as he says, "get into the DNA of American culture." In each hour-long episode, he takes viewers along for the journey with one celebrity pair bound together by an intimate, sometimes hidden link, treks through layers of ancestral history, uncovers secrets and surprises of their family trees and shares life-altering discoveries.
