This exhaustive profile from master documentarian Ken Burns took almost three years to complete. Burns made Twain and all of those around come to life and jump out of the screen with their humanity.This documentary on Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain, provides the audience with a remarkably realistic sense of who Samuel Clemens was and how he lived. An intense family man, he might not have been able to share with us his sense of America without his family's support. His style of writing was truly devoid of any European flavor and one of the greatest contributions to American literature.
Before seeing this I didn't appreciate the value of his commentary on race relations. It was a joy to meet the man.
