WATCH ‘AN EVENING WITH KEN BURNS’
A One-Time-Only Theater-Style Video Showing
at the Louis T. Graves Library
2 pm, Saturday, September 12
 
If you were unable to attend Ken Burns’s live appearance (or want to see it one more time), here’s another chance to experience the words, wit, and wisdom of America’s most iconic documentary filmmaker, with close-ups, professional camera work, and superior sound quality.
 
Graves Library is hosting a one-time-only theater-style video showing in the Community Room, moderated by Hal Kushner, the retired Army flight surgeon who survived nearly six years in North Vietnamese POW camps and appeared in several episodes of Burns’s The Vietnam War series on PBS. Hal will introduce Burns’s conversation with News Center Maine anchor Rob Caldwell and lead the audience discussion afterward.
 
Enjoy an entertaining, educational afternoon with the man who created a new vernacular for documentary storytelling, making history come powerfully alive for millions of viewers. In Hal’s words, “Ken Burns is the poet laureate of history.”
 
Light refreshments. $10 donations appreciated.
