Ken Burns – Here & There is a rare look at the over four decade intimate relationship Ken Burns has with his America and beloved community of Walpole, NH – and the importance that a "sense of place" and belonging has in one's life.
That the essential American fabric of patriotism and goodness are woven through each of us - and often, the road less traveled is a good decision.
Ken Burns – Here & There is a rare look at the over four-decade intimate relationship Ken Burns has with his America and his beloved community of Walpole. And how this tiny town's influence looms large in the life of this legendary filmmaker.
Ken Burns has revolutionized how Americans both get and understand their own history by bringing it right into their homes. In fact, as the historian Stephen Ambrose notes, "More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source."
But more than anything else, Ken Burns – Here & There is about the importance that a ""sense of place"" and belonging has in one's life. That where we come from – or where we go to – is central to who we are and may, ultimately, make all the difference in the world. That the essential American fabric of patriotism and goodness are woven through each of us - and that often, the road less traveled is a good decision.

VIDEO USAGE RIGHTS
Why the AV version? Because it provides additional usage options for PBS videos. AV versions come with limited performance rights so they can be shown in classrooms, at PTA meetings, during after school programs, and transmitted on a closed-circuit system within a building or on a single campus. They also can be enjoyed in admission-free public screenings, which also makes them ideal for use by library patrons and businesses involved in community clubs and organizations.
