Review of Roots 30th Anniversary


Nannie and Bill Haley, the wife and son of author Bill Haley, talk about the 30th Anniversary of Roots with host Dan Kramer. The mix of clips from the TV series, as well as the ambiguous ambient presence of music in the background, are not able to salvage this piece from the languid pace, and lack of back introduction of the guests. More cowbell, or more narration would have made this brief interview stronger.
