Ken Burns: Here & There

A somewhat unique view of the 40-year intimate relationship Ken Burns has with his America, with his colleagues, his family, his community of Walpole, his craft; about taking sweeping historical concepts and making them relatable to his audiences. You’ll see in glimpses, Ken Burns the filmmaker who is at once empathetic and provocative, gently insightful and relentlessly tenacious. The film draws in the audience as a collaborator, observing his painstaking process of weaving together the tapestry of stories – whether of historical figures, pivotal events, cultural trends, and iconic images of yesterday – to frame who we are as a nation today. This is the first time there has been a deeper dive into the DNA of what makes him, him.
