I just watched a video on Vimeo featuring Ken Burns supposedly talking about the concept of story in documentaries but actually talking about race. This guy has one and only concern--and it's always the same one--race. Now, if he wants to devote his life to this issue that is certainly his right. But he shouldn't pretend to be giving us an insight on story technique when what he's really shoving at us is another thinly veiled lecture on the eternal monstrous racism of whites.
There is actually one thing I do like about Ken Burns films. He does do great camera work.
