in 2007 ken burns produced a doc 14 hour documentary on world war ii. and during that 14 hours, not one second was dedicated to hispanic american contributions in world war ii. the hispanic americans weren't even part of world war ii and we of course know that that's not true and our biggest fear is that educators are going to be using these types of documentaries as their bases to teach our future students on world war ii and if that happens, they're gonna say well, i guess hispanics weren't part of world war ii and we know that's not true and it takes places like the natural world war ii museum to i mean we're having a conversation about hispanic americans today and that's groundbreaking for me to be able to do that on a national platform such as this so we're looking for other organizations to follow the lead of the national world war ii museum and not only just include hispanic americans but to actually feature hispanic americans in whatever their organizations handle. great. let's turn to your book patriots from the barrio. we often see a bit of th

in the face of the influence of cinema verite, ken burns is proudly traditional. he looked at the american experience based on in-depth interviews and thoughtful narration. during the 1980s and '90s, "front line" was challenged by the discovery channel's john hendricks. perhaps the greatest contribution to the new golden age came from edgy, emotional, and uninhibited films supervised by hbo's director of documentaries, sheila nevins. in a time when post modernists argue for subjectivity, films challenged preconceived notions. michael moore brought humor. his left wing fans laughed. his opponents struck back with right wing films with deep pocket money made possible by the supreme court's citizens united decision. one of the most prolific documentarians today is alex gibneys. his films draw a wider audience to investigate reporting. the days when theaters dominated distribution was eclipsed by broadcast television and then the choice of cable more recently the streaming options of services like netflix that used documentaries to expand the growth, influence, and im

one of the most successful series she funded when she was there was the civil war series by ken burns, which we all loved. but she said, neh is a difficult place to be, and some projects were good, and some were not. dr. cheney has authored 15 books. her most recent, "james madison: a life reconsidered," is a masterful insight into one of the physically smallest of the founding fathers, but one with the most towering intellect. and certainly the one with the most fun wife. i asked her what she most liked about madison, and she said, gay, i am fascinated by people who work hard. she is an example of that as well. she compared him, and i want to quote, she compared him to mozart. both were geniuses who with their greatest works changed forever the way people think. she's currently working on a book about the virginia dynasty, washington, jefferson, madison, and monroe that will be out in about two years. but what fascinates her is that for the first 36 years of our republic, with the exception of four short years of john adams, the virginia dynasty was in power. of the 15 books she has

i would say "roots or" or even the way the "ken burns" documentary deals with slavery sways many americans. but i think there is just something about the experience of seeing things on the big screen that imprint them on our minds and sort of tell us if we're going to take history from the civil screen and those are going to become almost the clip art of the memories that we have but didn't experience, it's going to come from the movies. i also think from the business aspect, and then i will be quiet about this. the way you make money from a film or from a tv show worked a little bit differently, especially in the 70s or 80s. a mini series like "roots" is primarily concerned with selling advertising, and because it's not a show that has to go on for several seasons, once the advertising is sold, you've made the money, it's nice to see you had a lot of viewers, but that's not going to sway potentially the content you put on screen quite as much. with a film, i'm entirely beholden by people coming continuously after reviews have come out to give me their money. i feel like in some ways, they

we even see the mini series by ken burns from a ways back on the national parks it was called america's best idea, which is actually taken from a quote from wallas stegner, that natural spaces that have trails for hiking and sightseeing and so on our representative of sort of pure pristine nature that has just had some boundaries put around it and has been kept the same like a vase in a museum, like static and never changing. set asidew÷rjñ unchanging. this was written and passed by congress in 1916. the park service just had their centennial last year. lots of hoopla. and as you can see their fundamental purpose is to conserve scenery and provide for the enjoyment as well as leave it unimpaired. the impression you get from this language is that parks are unimpaired and staying the same for generations through time. what i'm going to say -- my research is focused on and what we are going to focus on today is that unchanging is hiding a bunch of landscape change. as a little backdrop, this will be familiar to some of you for earlier in the semester, this idea that all ecosystems this is
