Doc. Filmmaker Ken Burns Presents: Telling the American Stories

Ken Burns has been making documentary films for more than 30 years. Since the Academy Award-nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, he has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made. Stephen Ambrose, the historian, has said of Burns’ films, “More Americans get their history form Ken Burns than any other source.” On Tues., September 30, Burns will address his approach to “history” and his perspective on the American experience and the following day will answer question from students in a Q-and-A session.
