You’ve probably seen a Ken Burns documentary at some point in your life, whether it was about baseball, jazz or the Civil War. But what you might not have seen is the man behind the lens: a brilliant and gifted storyteller with only a slight fascination for bringing back the dead. In this short profile from Redglass films, Burns discusses the nature of all storytelling and how the art of manipulation plays a role in showing the complications within any classic tale. Burns has a knack for re-telling stories that we might have forgotten about in a riveting way, making his pieces works of history as much as the subjects he weaves together.
