DVD Review

Filmed over the course of more than six years at some of nature?s most spectacular locales, "The National Parks: America?s Best Idea" is a six-part, 12-hour documentary series by Ken Burns and his longtime colleague Dayton Duncan on the history of America?s national parks. This is a story of people ? rich and poor, famous and unknown, soldiers and scientists, natives and newcomers, idealists, artists and entrepreneurs ? who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved and in doing so, reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.
