This hour, we talk to documentary filmmakers whose work disrupts the way we view the world. Ken Burns joins us in a wide-ranging conversation that covers everything from his distinctive style to why we may be in the most difficult crisis in U.S. history. Then, we talk to Su Kim, one of the producers of the film 'Free Chol Soo Lee.' The film tells the story of a man who is convicted of a murder he didn’t commit and the movement to have him released. But the film is also about the systems that failed him before and after his imprisonment.

Ken Burns will be in conversation with Audie Cornish at the Bushnell in Hartford in an event presented by The Connecticut Forum on Saturday, November 18th at 7:30pm. CT Public is a sponsor of The Connecticut Forum. For more information on the event, you can go to this link: https://www.ctforum.org/event/an-evening-with-ken-burns
