This was kind of a heavy episode. I struggled with delving into "roots" in this part 2 to the myth series, and how upsetting the content can be. I cover Alex Haley's book Roots in this episode, in addition to, when an individual loses his or her sense of self, just how devastating it can be. I cover hero, and modern celebrity worship. How we overcompensate for the lack of our own history, by drawing from exile in medieval times from one's city/people, and to our own modern exile with technology. I get into American Indian population and the staggeringly high suicide rates that accompany living in prisoner of war camps. (I promise I will cover lighter stuff in the future :) but this is necessary.
