Summary
Joining us for this incredibly special episode is Ken Burns - one of the greatest documentary filmmakers of his time. Ken Burns is known for his epic and historically focused films such as: The Civil War , Baseball , Jazz , The Vietnam War , The Roosevelts , Prohibition , and, our personal favorite, The National Parks: America’s Best Idea . Most recently, he meticulously created the 9-years-in-the-making documentary film series titled The American Revolution: An Intimate History , which is now available for streaming on PBS. We speak about National Parks and the importance of maintaining democracy within the United States and for our public lands. We discuss how we can make a difference and advocate for the environment. We dive into some fun topics like fantasy worlds, what he likes to do when recreating outside, and more. Thank you, Ken Burns, for continuously advocating for National Parks, public lands, and democracy! We hope you enjoy this episode of Rangers of the Lost Park.
