The National Parks: America's Best Idea, A Film by Ken Burns
America’s national parks spring from an idea as radical as the Declaration of Independence: that the nation’s most magnificent and sacred places should be preserved, not for royalty or the rich, but for everyone. In this lavishly illustrated narrative, Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan delve into the history of the park idea, recounting the adventures, mythmaking, and intense political battles behind the evolution of the park system, and the enduring ideals that fostered its growth. They introduce us to a diverse cast of compelling characters—both unsung heroes and famous figures such as John Muir, Theodore Roosevelt, and Ansel Adams—who have been transformed by these special places.
The National Parks is a glorious celebration of an essential expression of American democracy.
