Ken Burns: A Filmmaker of Epic Proportions

Ken Burns has revolutionized the art of making documentaries, bringing American history to life in a very personal way.

Biographical details such as how he got his start, who has influenced him, and where he finds inspiration offer an illuminating glimpse of a remarkable artist. Film clips from The Brooklyn Bridge, Baseball, and The Civil War underscore the power of his methods and the passion of his vision. Produced by CBS News Productions. (45 minutes)
