Ken Burns Wants You to Rethink What You Know About the American Revolution
The American Revolution is U.S. historians' Holy Grail, and Ken Burns says there is still much to be learned. Burns has been chronicling American history and culture for decades, rising to prominence 35 years ago with his PBS series on the Civil War. Now the filmmaker is turning his lens on America's origin story with a new 12-hour documentary for PBS. Burns joins Walter Isaacson to talk about it.
