Finding Your Roots
Ancient Roots Promo
Ancient Roots traces the family history of three quintessential voices in American life, Tina Fey, George Stephanopoulos and David Sedaris. All three descend from ancestors that were part of the wave of Greek immigrants that flooded America’s shores in the early decades of the 20th century. But along the way, the stories of their Greek ancestors were lost.
