Ken Burns has done it again!
This September there will be a new documentary by PBS's heavyweight. This time he is taking a look at our National Parks. Here is what PBS says about it on their site:
Filmmaker Ken Burns and his longtime colleague Dayton Duncan take us on a behind the scenes tour of their new PBS series, The National Parks: America's Best Idea. The team explains why they chose the parks as their subject, as well as describing their five-year journey through research, scripting, filming and editing the series. Their story is illustrated by rare footage of the film crew at work shooting in the parks, as well as excerpts from the finished film.
Watch the preview videos here: http://www.pbs.org/nationalparks/watch-video/
The documentary starts on KCET, September 27. Check the schedule here.
Read more about each episode the day it airs:
Episode 1: The Scripture of Nature
Episode 2: The Last Refuge
Episode 3: The Empire of Grandeur
Episode 4: Going Home
Episode 5: Great Nature
Episode 6: The Morning of Creation
Is Mr. Burns still looking for photos & family stories etc?
I thought he was still collecting information -- my family has been going to Yosemite National Park for 68 years and we have many happy memories and photos, including vacations, wedding etc.
thanks
