CLASSIC LNL: History Maker - Ken Burns
An extended discussion with American historian and filmmaker Ken Burns, whose trilogy on America -- The Civil War, Baseball and Jazz -- proved that historical detail can make for great television. They constituted 50 plus hours of television in which the drama was in the text, the evocative old photos, and the archival footage.
Originally broadcast on 10/10/2002.
