More From Ken Burns
- "I record all of my music with authentic instruments in a studio before we start editing, doing many, many versions. The music shapes the film as we edit so it has an organic relationship to the content."
- "History is malleable. A new cache of diaries can shed new light, and archeological evidence can challenge our popular assumptions."
- "I began to feel that the drama of the truth that is in the moment and in the past is richer and more interesting than the drama of Hollywood movies. So I began looking at documentary films."
