Description:
This fall our national parks will be the focus of a beautiful documentary by one of our nation's most respected filmmakers, Ken Burns.

This breathtaking narrative traces the birth of the national park idea in the mid-1800s and follows its evolution for nearly 150 years. Leading up to the debut of the film, NPCA and WTTW11 would like to invite you to a special screening of the film and a special discussion of the project with Ken Burns himself at The Art Institute of Chicago.
