“There’s always the certainty that the opposite of what I
might believe in might also be true.” — Ken Burns
Ken Burns (@KenBurns) has been making
documentary films for more than 40 years.
Since the Academy Award nominated Brooklyn Bridge in
1981, Ken has gone on to direct and produce some of the most
acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The
Civil War; Baseball; Jazz; The Statue of
Liberty; Huey Long; Lewis & Clark; Frank Lloyd
Wright; Mark Twain; Unforgivable Blackness: The Rise
and Fall of Jack Johnson; The War; The National Parks:
America’s Best Idea; The Roosevelts; Jackie
Robinson; Defying the Nazis: The Sharps’ War; The
Vietnam War, and The Mayo Clinic: Faith — Hope — Science.
Ken’s films have been honored with dozens of major awards,
including sixteen Emmy Awards, two Grammy Awards, and two Oscar
nominations; and in September of 2008, at the News &
Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of
Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
His newest work is Country Music. It
explores the history of a uniquely American art form: country
music. From its deep and tangled roots in ballads, blues, and
hymns performed in small settings, to its worldwide popularity,
learn how country music evolved over the course of the twentieth
century, as it eventually emerged to become America’s
music. Country Music features never-before-seen footage
and photographs, plus interviews with more than 80 country music
artists. The eight-part, 16-hour series is directed and
produced by Ken Burns, written and produced by Dayton Duncan, and
produced by Julie Dunfey.
It debuts on PBS on Sunday, September 15th, 2019, at 8 EST/7 CST.
The first four episodes will stream on station-branded PBS
platforms, including PBS.org and PBS apps, timed
to coincide with the Sunday, September 15th premiere. The second
four episodes will be timed alongside the broadcast of Episode 5
on Sunday, September 22nd; each episode will stream for a period
of three weeks. PBS Passport members will be able to stream the
entire series for a period of six months beginning Sunday,
September 15th.
