Ken Burns: The Kindle Singles Interview (Kindle Single)

From Chautauqua, the historic summer retreat in southwestern New York state, 61-year-old Ken Burns â€“ the Emmy-winning and Academy Award-nominated producer and director of popular documentary films such as â€œThe Civil War,â€ â€œThe Central Park Five,â€ â€œBaseball,â€ and â€œThe Brooklyn Bridgeâ€ â€“ opens up about how he picks his subjects, his true feelings about â€œthe Ken Burns Effect,â€ his harrowing childhood, and his much-anticipated PBS documentary â€œThe Roosevelts: An Intimate History,â€ an epic, seven-part TV series chronicling the lives of one of the most powerful American families of the 20th century. In this illuminating, in-depth Q & A, â€œAmericaâ€™s storytellerâ€ lets readers in on his philosophical approach to understanding our nationâ€™s past, as well as a little family secret for overcoming your fears.
