Ken Burns' The Dust Bowl Screening
Historical documentaries often resonate powerfully with the present, but rarely does the timing seem so perfect as tonight’s sneak preview of Ken Burns’ The Dust Bowl, a documentary about the worst man-made ecological disaster in American history. The documentary premieres on PBS on Nov. 18 and 19, but writer/producer Dayton Duncan and producer Julie Dunfrey will be at the State Museum for a special screening and a Q&A session afterwards, as well as a performance by singer-songwriter James Talley. From the press release: “The film is a historical accounting of what happened and why during the 1930s on the southern Plains, filled with seldom-seen movie footage, previously unpublished photographs, the songs of Woody Guthrie and the observations of two remarkable women who left behind eloquent written accounts.
