Synopsis:
Described by The New York Times as the most accomplished documentary filmmaker of his generation , Ken Burns has been making films for America s Public Broadcasting Service for more than 30 years. Since the Academy Award-nominated Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, Burns has gone on to direct and produce some of the most acclaimed historical documentaries ever made, including The Civil War, Jazz and The Roosevelts: An Intimate History. More Americans get their history from Ken Burns than any other source , said the late historian Stephen Ambrose of his work. This seven-disc box set includes seven films from Burns award-winning collection: Brooklyn Bridge, Statue of Liberty, Empire of the Air, The Congress, Thomas Hart Benton, Huey Long & The Shakers.

Brooklyn Bridge (1981)
This documentary chronicles the world-famous Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. The difficult construction process is described in interesting detail; later parts of the film interview current notables who describe the effects that the Brooklyn Bridge has had upon New York society and beyond.
The Statue of Liberty (1985)
Documentary showing the history of the world-famous Statue of Liberty in New York harbor.
Empire of the Air: The Men Who Made Radio (1991)
For 50 years, radio dominated the airwaves as the first mass medium. Ken Burns examines the lives of three men who shared the responsibility for its invention and early success.
The Congress (1988)
The U. S. Congress is one of the country's most important and misunderstood institutions. Ken Burns tells the story behind this branch of government.
Thomas Hart Benton (1988)
Thomas Hart Benton's paintings were energetic and uncompromising. Today his works are in museums, but Benton hung them in saloons for ordinary people to appreciate.
Huey Long (1985)
Ken Burns' portrait of Louisiana governor/U.S. senator Huey Long.
The Shakers: Hands to Work, Hearts to God (1984)
Ken Burns examines the American utopian 19th century religious sect known as the Shakers.
