KEN BURNS: THE CIVIL WAR
PBS, 8:00 p.m. ET
Next month, it will have been 25 years since Ken Burns unveiled his massive historical miniseries The Civil War, launching his career, and the TV documentary, to a new level. PBS will honor the occasion by repeating the entire program in newly remastered form – but first, as a preamble and appetizer, PBS presents this scene-setting retrospective, on Burns and company as well as the exceptional miniseries they produced.
