Ken Burns - THE NATIONAL PARKS: AMERICA'S BEST IDEA

[xyz]

PBS is broadcasting it now. I heard other series by Ken Burns are also quite good, like baseball, civil war etc.

The National Parks: America's Best Idea is a six-episode series directed by Ken Burns and written and co-produced by Dayton Duncan. Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature's most spectacular locales – from Acadia to Yosemite, Yellowstone to the Grand Canyon, the Everglades of Florida to the Gates of the Arctic in Alaska - The National Parks: America's Best Idea is nonetheless a story of people: people from every conceivable background – rich and poor; famous and unknown; soldiers and scientists; natives and newcomers; idealists, artists and entrepreneurs; people who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved, and in doing so reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

我看了几集episodes，本来是以为可以看到planet earth这样的风光片，可惜这个更像爱国主义教育片。我的美国同事都说不错，可惜对我来说缺乏共鸣

No wonder. It was one of my American friends recommended it to me. Thank you!
