Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWhen Ken Burns talks, I end up taking notes.
He tells the stories of people in history in a way that shows he lets the stories in to his "being", and he shares them generously.
He knows the work he weaves together to create his documentaries.
He has a special ability to share stories - not just in film, but in person. There is emotion in the truth.
He is talking about "The Revolution", while being interviewed by Nicolle for her podcast "The Best People". He truly is the best people.

That was not Ken Burns on Rachel. It was Steven Ross, a different historian.
