Ken Burns on Revolution and History

Ken Burns drops major historical insight on his latest epic, The American Revolution, calling it the most consequential revolution ever—bigger than Christ’s birth. In a riveting talk at the Flynn Center in Burlington, he reveals his signature subtractive filmmaking process, distilling hundreds of hours of footage into just twelve hours of cinematic gold. With nearly fifty years behind him since his debut Brooklyn Bridge, Burns continues to reshape how we see history through his lens, with upcoming projects on emancipation, the Exodus, and Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society. Don’t miss the full event—stream it now on YouTube or the PBS app. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
