'This is how I heard about the boy, Kunta Kinte. | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
'And this is how I'll tell you the story. | 0:00:13 | 0:00:17 | |
'The two most important days in a man's life | 0:00:22 | 0:00:25 | |
'are the day he is born | 0:00:25 | 0:00:27 | |
'and the day that he understands why.' | 0:00:27 | 0:00:30 | |
INDISTINCT SHOUTING | 0:00:30 | 0:00:32 | |
MAN GROANS | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
HE SCREAMS | 0:00:36 | 0:00:39 | |
'There was once a rich and sophisticated city named Juffure | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
'in a Mandinka kingdom in West Africa. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:51 | |
'It was located on the banks of the Kamby Bolongo, | 0:00:51 | 0:00:54 | |
'the Great River of the Gambia. | 0:00:54 | 0:00:58 | |
'Like the Greeks, Romans and Hebrews, | 0:01:02 | 0:01:05 | |
'Mandinka kept slaves as servants. | 0:01:05 | 0:01:08 | |
'Some slaves married into these families, | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
'others paid ransoms to be free. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
'Then Europeans arrived in great sailing ships. | 0:01:18 | 0:01:22 | |
'Some Mandinka were corrupted by European guns and gold, | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
'creating a violent market for slaves. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
'But the many Africans who fought European plundering | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
'suffered brutal reprisals. | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
'Kunta Kinte's family were warriors loyal to the king. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:40 | |
'On the day that Kunta was born, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
'the Kinte family had a violent clash | 0:01:42 | 0:01:44 | |
'with their rivals, the Koros, | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
'who were loyal only to their greed. | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
MAN SHOUTS IN OWN LANGUAGE | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
HE GRUNTS IN PAIN | 0:01:53 | 0:01:56 | |
'It would take Kunta a long time | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
'to understand why he was born into this world, but when he did, | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
'it was as clear as the sky above the Kamby Bolongo.' | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Sir, permission? I do not need permission. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
The king needs my sons and I to support him. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
The king knows you sail upriver to buy slaves at favourable prices. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
He knows you're trading them for English guns. | 0:02:38 | 0:02:42 | |
None of this is your business, Omoro Kinte. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
We control who goes up and down the river. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
For our Mansa, the king. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:51 | |
Argh! | 0:02:54 | 0:02:56 | |
Do not sacrifice your sons for your own greed! | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |

SHE BREATHES HEAVILY | 0:03:47 | 0:03:48 | |

SHE HUMS | 0:05:27 | 0:05:30 | |
You must hear your name first. | 0:05:40 | 0:05:43 | |
You are Kunta Kinte, son of Omoro and Binta Kinte. | 0:05:44 | 0:05:50 | |
Grandson of Kairaba Kunta Kinte and Yaisa. | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
You must always honour your ancestors, | 0:05:55 | 0:05:59 | |
the ones who love you and watch over you. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:02 | |
Your name is your spirit. | 0:06:02 | 0:06:06 | |
Your name is your shield. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:10 | |
Allahu Akbar! | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
Behold Kunta Kinte, | 0:06:14 | 0:06:17 | |
the only thing that is greater than you. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:06:37 | 0:06:39 | |
THEY WHOOP AND CHEER | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
I am king of the Kamby Bolongo! HE LAUGHS | 0:06:44 | 0:06:47 | |
-SHE GASPS -Crocodile! -Argh! Argh! | 0:06:52 | 0:06:55 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
Kunta, don't run away. You are so sour, | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
a crocodile would spit you out. | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
HE CHUCKLES Jinna, come swim down river with me. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
Then we will see who's scared of crocodiles. | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
Back to work, Jinna. And I don't see many oysters in your basket. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:17 | |
Because they have disappeared into your belly. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:19 | |
-OTHERS LAUGH -Kunta, don't bother with that girl. | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
Soon an older warrior will take her for his bride. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:25 | |
-Jinna is getting married? -One of the Koros. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:28 | |
He agreed to bring her into the family. | 0:07:28 | 0:07:30 | |
Then she can bother the Koros instead of you. | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |

Kunta! | 0:09:00 | 0:09:03 | |
THEY SPEAK OWN LANGUAGE | 0:09:03 | 0:09:05 | |
No, Kunta. This is not the time. Control your temper. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:11 | |
Anger is the path to poor decisions. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
Lamin is hungry. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
Go to my room and get a bowl of cooked rice. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
-But he's sleeping. -Is this back talk? | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
RHYTHMIC CLAPPING CONTINUES | 0:09:28 | 0:09:31 | |
Cooked rice... | 0:09:37 | 0:09:39 | |
SWORD CLANGS, MAN SHOUTS | 0:09:42 | 0:09:45 | |

KUNTA PANTS Argh! | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
HE PANTS | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
-MAN: -Argh! | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
Uncle Silla! | 0:10:28 | 0:10:30 | |
-Did I ask you to speak? -No, Uncle Silla. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:33 | |
If I didn't ask you to speak, why do you keep saying my name? | 0:10:33 | 0:10:35 | |
I'm dying of thirst. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:37 | |
Argh! Is there water?! | 0:10:37 | 0:10:40 | |
Of course there is water. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:42 | |
If I had run as far as you, I would want water, too. | 0:10:46 | 0:10:49 | |
But what you want is of no importance. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:53 | |
I am your Kintago! | 0:10:53 | 0:10:54 | |
-ALL: -Peace be with you. | 0:10:54 | 0:10:56 | |
KINTAGO SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE | 0:10:56 | 0:10:59 | |
And with you. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:02 | |
May Allah's mercy rain upon you. | 0:11:02 | 0:11:05 | |
You will need it. | 0:11:05 | 0:11:07 | |
Your lives will be measured by what you do now. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
Only the bravest will be selected | 0:11:10 | 0:11:13 | |
to become warriors to serve your king. | 0:11:13 | 0:11:17 | |
But if you fail, no woman will bear your children. | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
You must leave Juffure and live your days somewhere else. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:26 | |
Now stand up! | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
Line up! And shut up! | 0:11:30 | 0:11:33 | |
Your jujuo is across the river. | 0:11:33 | 0:11:36 | |
You will live there like the old Mandinka way | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
in warm, comfy lean-tos. | 0:11:39 | 0:11:42 | |
What are you waiting for? Now cross the river. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:44 | |
-Go! -WHIP CRACKS | 0:11:44 | 0:11:47 | |
THEY SHOUT | 0:11:47 | 0:11:50 | |

HORSE WHINNIES | 0:12:42 | 0:12:44 | |
For a Mandinka warrior, | 0:12:48 | 0:12:51 | |
one horse is worth 20 men in battle. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:55 | |
I know you have been taught to ride by your family, | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
but not a horse like this. | 0:12:57 | 0:12:59 | |
He is a king of a royal line | 0:12:59 | 0:13:01 | |
that goes back to the great kings of Mali. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:04 | |
Who will ride him? | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
Kunta volunteers. | 0:13:11 | 0:13:14 | |
But I don't see a saddle or reins. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:18 | |
This horse will never allow a boy like you to put a bit in his mouth. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:22 | |
And what if your enemy took your saddle? | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
Would you try to run without your horse? | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
-Hands up together. -But how will I hold on? | 0:13:25 | 0:13:29 | |
-WHIP CRACKS -What are your legs for? | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
HE GRUNTS | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
HORSE WHINNIES | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
Argh! Argh! | 0:13:39 | 0:13:42 | |
Slow! Wait, slow down! | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
Go around. Go around. | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
Go around! Go around! | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |

HE GROANS | 0:14:03 | 0:14:06 | |
HORSE SNORTS | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
This king of horses has made you all look weak, unprepared. | 0:14:17 | 0:14:22 | |
You have far to go if you want to be called a Mandinka warrior. | 0:14:22 | 0:14:25 | |
This horse could feel your fear | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
because you are only thinking of yourselves, | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
not about the horse. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
MAN SINGS IN OWN LANGUAGE | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
THEY ALL SING IN OWN LANGUAGE | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
MEN GRUNT | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
Are we moving? | 0:14:56 | 0:14:58 | |
Why do I still feel we are on the river bank? | 0:14:58 | 0:15:01 | |
Faster! | 0:15:01 | 0:15:04 | |
If we met an enemy, this would be a canoe full of dead warriors. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:07 | |
My hands are like monkey paws. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:10 | |
Faster! Faster! Paddle! | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
-HORN BLOWS -You hear that? | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
The enemy approaches. We must stop the enemy on the river, or he will kill you and attack your families. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
-This can't be real, is it? -Your weapons are at your feet. | 0:15:25 | 0:15:28 | |
But these are not sharpened. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Oh. Did you all forget to prepare your weapons in advance? | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
There is a word for a Mandinka who is unprepared in battle. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:40 | |
A slave! | 0:15:40 | 0:15:43 | |
I see them. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:45 | |
It's only Master Silla. | 0:15:45 | 0:15:48 | |
Addo, stand up! Use your javelin. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Attack your enemy before he kills you. | 0:15:52 | 0:15:55 | |
-What if I hit Master Silla? -A warrior who hesitates is a dead warrior. | 0:15:55 | 0:15:58 | |
Throw now! | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
HE GRUNTS | 0:16:00 | 0:16:02 | |
Argh! | 0:16:09 | 0:16:10 | |
Kunta! Up! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
If you cannot fight your enemy across the river, | 0:16:16 | 0:16:18 | |
you will be killed! Taken as a slave! | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
KUNTA GRUNTS | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
I will not tolerate your insolence. You disobeyed my order. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
I instructed you to use your javelin. | 0:16:39 | 0:16:42 | |
Instead, you insulted Silla Ba Dibba, your teacher. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:45 | |
I defeated my enemy. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:48 | |
Kunta Kinte, | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
we will see if you are as good as you think you are. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:54 | |
You will be given a head start. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
If you make it back to our jujuo before the others catch you, | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
you can continue your training. But if you are caught, | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
you will fail your training. You will never become a warrior, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:08 | |
and you will be banished. | 0:17:08 | 0:17:10 | |
HE SHOUTS | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
Now run, Kunta Kinte. | 0:17:16 | 0:17:19 | |
Run! | 0:17:19 | 0:17:21 | |
Go! | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |

KUNTA LAUGHS | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
You sure the dead man was from Juffure? | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
Yes, Uncle Silla. I knew him. | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
His name was Musa. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
His family trades rice and oysters. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
His neck was tied like a goat. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:33 | |
The Koros have gone too far. First they defy the king | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
and sell slaves from upriver without permission. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:41 | |
Now they're taking our own to sell for guns. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
Brother, it's too dangerous to be this far from Juffure. | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
Especially for our sons. The Koros can take them as hostages and hold them for ransom. | 0:19:48 | 0:19:53 | |
We must fight them, Fa. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
It's far easier to rush into fighting than to stop it once it starts. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:02 | |
MAN SHRIEKS | 0:20:08 | 0:20:10 | |
He is asking you a question. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:12 | |

To honour Allah. MAN SHRIEKS | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
-MEN SHOUT -Also wrong. | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
The first duty of a Mandinka warrior is to raise a family, | 0:20:30 | 0:20:34 | |
to have children, to pass on our way of life. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
This starts with a clean and healthy foto. | 0:20:39 | 0:20:43 | |
What we're about to do to you has been done to your fathers | 0:20:43 | 0:20:47 | |
and their fathers and all of your forefathers. | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
The paste will help numb you a little, but not enough. | 0:20:51 | 0:20:56 | |
The pain will help you remember Kasa Boyo. | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
And trust me, you will remember it. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
Hold out your foto! Kunta Kinte. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |

I'm sorry for coming inside your new home | 0:22:32 | 0:22:35 | |
without your permission, Kunta Kinte. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
I'm happy to see you, Mother. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
I made you a prayer rug, | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
a bowl for rice, and... | 0:22:42 | 0:22:45 | |
..and beads. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:50 | |

must I stay in Juffure? | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
I don't understand. Juffure is our home. | 0:23:54 | 0:23:57 | |
Why would you leave? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
To study in Timbuktu. | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
-Then we'd never see you again. -That's true. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
It is very, very far, Kunta. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
I need to know if I can attend university. | 0:24:09 | 0:24:11 | |
Test myself against the best students in the world. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:16 | |
Timbuktu is a giant city with aggressive and ambitious people | 0:24:16 | 0:24:20 | |
where boys fight like dogs to be accepted in the university. | 0:24:20 | 0:24:24 | |
It'll be my own fight. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:26 | |
You would do this to your mother? I won't allow it. | 0:24:26 | 0:24:30 | |
Are you ordering me to stay? | 0:24:30 | 0:24:32 | |
I want you to perform your duties to this family | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
like I did, like my father did, and his father before him. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:40 | |
I won't always be there | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
to clean up the trouble you cause, Kunta. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:46 | |
Listen to your elders. | 0:24:46 | 0:24:49 | |
Stay here. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:52 | |
Stop filling your head with dreams. | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
And forget that girl. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:59 | |
We will make you a better match. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
Old Mandinka say they shall bring him back to us in peace. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:37 | |
HORSE NEIGHS Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
-You scared him. -A wild-tempered horse. | 0:25:57 | 0:26:01 | |
Perfect for you, Kunta. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
So, Kalabi Koro chose someone else? | 0:26:05 | 0:26:09 | |
I turned HIM down. | 0:26:09 | 0:26:12 | |
But I know the right warrior for me. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:14 | |
If he even exists. | 0:26:14 | 0:26:18 | |
My parents want to arrange a marriage for me. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
I turned them down, too. But I came to speak to you. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:25 | |
There's nothing to talk about. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:27 | |
Now they say you are going to Timbuktu to study. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:31 | |
Far, far away. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:33 | |
Instead of serving the king or taking a wife. | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
Jinna. Look, will you slow down? | 0:26:37 | 0:26:39 | |
I agree. | 0:26:41 | 0:26:43 | |
And you should only choose the right warrior. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:48 | |
Jinna, I'm the right warrior. | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
You know this. We both do. | 0:26:51 | 0:26:54 | |
Everyone in Juffure tells me what I can't do, | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
but... | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
HE SIGHS ..I know what I want. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:03 | |
Peace be upon you, brother. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:08 | |
And upon you. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
You look familiar. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:12 | |
Yes. I think I have seen you. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
You are the boy of Omoro Kinte. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:18 | |
You speak Mandinka, but you're not one of us. | 0:27:20 | 0:27:23 | |
I speak many languages. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:25 | |
How else can a man make a living here on the Kamby Bolongo? | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |

It's time your family pay for all the trouble they have caused me, Kunta. | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
Come peacefully. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:42 | |
The ransom negotiations should not take long, | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
then you can go free. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Go free? I am free. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |

I didn't tell you to leave, Fiddler. | 0:55:21 | 0:55:23 | |
Miss Elizabeth said she wants me to be on time, | 0:55:26 | 0:55:28 | |
so that's what I intend to do. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:31 | |

It'll send a message to them all and put some extra money in your pocket. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:15 | |
Very good. | 0:57:15 | 0:57:17 | |
All right, come on, take him. Get him in the back of the wagon. | 0:57:17 | 0:57:20 | |

DOOR OPENS This one is easily spooked. | 0:58:08 | 0:58:11 | |
Elizabeth. I told you, this is no place for my wife. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:16 | |
And I almost obeyed you, darling. I only came to find Fiddler. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
-Massa Waller. -Yes. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:22 | |
They told me that you wanted to see me. They didn't tell me why. | 0:58:22 | 0:58:25 | |
Connelly here tells me that you knew the African girl | 0:58:25 | 0:58:28 | |
over at the Randolph place. | 0:58:28 | 0:58:31 | |
I wouldn't say I knew her, Massa. We didn't do much talking. | 0:58:31 | 0:58:35 | |
-That was years ago. -Fine notion, sir. | 0:58:35 | 0:58:38 | |
Fiddler knows his way around an African. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:40 | |
Let him handle the boy. | 0:58:40 | 0:58:42 | |
John. We spoke at length. No more purchases for a while, and look what you did. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:47 | |
Brother, I do not like holding so much of your debt. | 0:58:47 | 0:58:51 | |
What on earth are you talking about? | 0:58:51 | 0:58:54 | |
I'm going to get 30 years good service out of him. | 0:58:54 | 0:58:56 | |
And I have money in my pocket from selling the niggers that he's replacing. | 0:58:56 | 0:59:00 | |
-FIDDLER: -Massa Waller, that's a brand-new Guineaman. It's a mighty responsibility. Much more | 0:59:00 | 0:59:05 | |
responsibility for an overseer than it is for a fiddle player like me. | 0:59:05 | 0:59:08 | |
No, no, Fiddler. He's yours starting today. | 0:59:08 | 0:59:11 | |
And if the boy proves to be recalcitrant, then he'll go in my pocket, too, | 0:59:11 | 0:59:15 | |
courtesy of the Georgia man, same as Samson. | 0:59:15 | 0:59:17 | |
What are we calling this one? | 0:59:19 | 0:59:21 | |
-WILLIAM: -Does the lady have a proposal? -Hey. Hey! | 0:59:21 | 0:59:25 | |
In Dorset, we had an old slave in the stables. | 0:59:25 | 0:59:28 | |
-Don't you ever look at my wife. -He taught me to abandon side-saddle. | 0:59:28 | 0:59:32 | |
Sit astride a stallion. | 0:59:32 | 0:59:35 | |
Call this one Toby. | 0:59:35 | 0:59:37 | |
Named after the horse or the slave? | 0:59:37 | 0:59:39 | |
Both. | 0:59:39 | 0:59:42 | |
-Come along, Connelly. CONNELLY: -Yes, sir. | 0:59:42 | 0:59:45 | |
Come up to the house as soon as you're finished. | 0:59:45 | 0:59:47 | |
I want to hear all about the Albrights' party. | 0:59:47 | 0:59:49 | |
Mrs Albright put on a barrel of weight. | 0:59:49 | 0:59:51 | |
Look like a new-born calf at the udder. | 0:59:51 | 0:59:53 | |
-I knew it. I want all the details. -Yes, ma'am. | 0:59:53 | 0:59:56 | |
-You're hurt. -It's nothing to fuss about. | 0:59:56 | 1:00:00 | |
-William... -WILLIAM: -Hmm? | 1:00:00 | 1:00:03 | |
Yes, that could go septic. I'll attend to you up at the house, Fiddler. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:08 | |
Thank you, ma'am. | 1:00:10 | 1:00:12 | |
(Damn Albrights.) | 1:00:19 | 1:00:23 | |
Playing for six hours. | 1:00:23 | 1:00:25 | |
Asked the oldest son if I could take some time to rest | 1:00:25 | 1:00:27 | |
cos my fingers were clawing up. | 1:00:27 | 1:00:30 | |
Spoiled boy took my hand, held it over the candle flame. | 1:00:30 | 1:00:34 | |
I still had to play more tunes. | 1:00:35 | 1:00:37 | |
But you a tune I never was expecting to play. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:43 | |
Just calm down! Calm down. Calm down. | 1:00:46 | 1:00:49 | |
Why you think that overseer got Massa to give you to me, huh? | 1:00:49 | 1:00:55 | |
Cos overseer know that you're going to take off again. | 1:00:55 | 1:00:58 | |
Then the Massa, he going to have to blame me. | 1:00:58 | 1:01:01 | |
I'll end up like Samson, going out Georgia way. | 1:01:01 | 1:01:04 | |
You going to start working - today. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:09 | |
You'll be planting a new tobacco field. | 1:01:13 | 1:01:15 | |
Try to say this word. | 1:01:15 | 1:01:17 | |
Tobacco. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:21 | |
Tobacco. | 1:01:22 | 1:01:24 | |
Tobacco. | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
That's right. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:31 | |
Tobacco like a hole in a water bucket. | 1:01:31 | 1:01:35 | |
Makes a... makes a field run dry. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:38 | |
Run field dry. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:41 | |
It's going to be a long summer. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:45 | |
Killing heat, biting flies. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:50 | |
Stay light so long, | 1:01:52 | 1:01:53 | |
it seem like the night gonna never come. | 1:01:53 | 1:01:55 | |
I'm going to get Miss Elizabeth to hand you back over to the overseer. | 1:01:57 | 1:02:01 | |
I got me a nice, warm spot like an old hound | 1:02:01 | 1:02:03 | |
right there at the fireplace by her feet. | 1:02:03 | 1:02:06 | |
I ain't gonna let no Guineaman get me kicked back out to that field. | 1:02:06 | 1:02:11 | |

'fore I got sold. | 1:07:55 | 1:07:58 | |
There was a man on the farm, played this old Africa guitar. | 1:07:58 | 1:08:00 | |

Making me think of too many things | 1:08:20 | 1:08:24 | |
tucked away real deep inside. | 1:08:24 | 1:08:27 | |
My mother sings this to me... | 1:08:33 | 1:08:36 | |
..every night when I'm young. | 1:08:37 | 1:08:40 | |
It's a real pretty song. | 1:08:42 | 1:08:45 | |

Say it again, louder. | 1:29:47 | 1:29:49 | |
What's your name? | 1:29:49 | 1:29:51 | |
-HE SCREAMS -What's your name? | 1:29:51 | 1:29:53 | |
WEAKLY: Toby. | 1:29:57 | 1:29:58 | |
HE GROANS | 1:29:59 | 1:30:01 | |
He said it. | 1:30:04 | 1:30:05 | |
Massa Waller, he said it. | 1:30:05 | 1:30:07 | |
HE GROANS | 1:30:07 | 1:30:09 | |
Toby... | 1:30:12 | 1:30:14 | |
Get me that grease inside there! | 1:30:23 | 1:30:25 | |
Go home now. Everyone, go on, go. | 1:30:25 | 1:30:29 | |
Tomorrow's another work day. | 1:30:31 | 1:30:33 | |
If you came from another plantation, get back there. | 1:30:35 | 1:30:38 | |
Holiday's over. Go. | 1:30:38 | 1:30:40 | |
KUNTA GROANS | 1:30:40 | 1:30:43 | |
Where that grease? | 1:30:45 | 1:30:47 | |
Where are you? | 1:30:52 | 1:30:54 | |
I'm here, son. | 1:30:57 | 1:31:00 | |
I'm here. | 1:31:00 | 1:31:02 | |
Fa. Please. | 1:31:02 | 1:31:05 | |
Please don't leave me alone. | 1:31:07 | 1:31:10 | |
You ain't alone, son. | 1:31:10 | 1:31:12 | |
You got lots of people here who care about you. | 1:31:12 | 1:31:17 | |
It don't matter what the Massa call you. | 1:31:17 | 1:31:21 | |
You keep your true name inside. | 1:31:21 | 1:31:25 | |
I'm gonna keep it there, too. I promise. | 1:31:27 | 1:31:31 | |
This ain't your home. | 1:31:33 | 1:31:36 | |
But it's where you got to be. | 1:31:37 | 1:31:39 | |
I don't know what else to say to you. | 1:31:50 | 1:31:54 | |
All I know is... | 1:31:54 | 1:31:57 | |
rain that fall in Virginia | 1:31:57 | 1:32:01 | |
get burned off by the sun... | 1:32:01 | 1:32:05 | |
KUNTA GROANS | 1:32:05 | 1:32:07 | |
..rise up to the clouds, | 1:32:07 | 1:32:10 | |
and then them clouds, they drift away. | 1:32:10 | 1:32:14 | |
They may drift all the way across the ocean | 1:32:14 | 1:32:16 | |
till they get to that river you call Kamby Bolongo. | 1:32:16 | 1:32:19 | |
Maybe the same rain that fall here fall there | 1:32:22 | 1:32:26 | |
on your own people. | 1:32:26 | 1:32:31 | |
And I know they want you to live. | 1:32:31 | 1:32:33 | |
HE BREATHES SHALLOWLY | 1:32:33 | 1:32:36 | |
And they know your true name. | 1:32:38 | 1:32:42 | |
Kunta Kinte. | 1:32:42 | 1:32:45 | |
Son of Omoro Kinte. | 1:32:45 | 1:32:49 | |
You live, Kunta Kinte. | 1:32:50 | 1:32:54 | |
You live. | 1:32:56 | 1:32:59 |
