Ken Burns, American director of big multi-part documentaries on big American subjects, came back Monday with "The American Buffalo" on PBS. As history is the thing we need to learn from so as not to repeat it, or learn to repeat the good parts, even Burns relatively lighthearted works, like "Baseball" and "Jazz," "Benjamin Franklin" or "Mark Twain" have some contemporary relevance.
PBS “The American Buffalo" is a look at the animal’s perilous journey and its leap from extinction. The story, Ken Burns says, is an “unmitigated tragedy."
