Ken Burns’ contribution to the Democratic National Convention

The eight-minute video tribute to Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy that will be shown tonight at the Democratic National Convention was directed by Ken Burns and Mark Herzog, according to the lineup on the DNC website.

So what else has Burns been up to? He’s been casting his eye on national parks for an upcoming 12-hour, six-part film documentary that will air in fall 2009.

Staff writer Christopher Reynolds caught up with him and his crew at Glacier National Park in Montana and turned the camera on Burns. Take a look at the video Chris shot called “What is Ken Burns Doing on Your Summer Vacation?”
