This event will feature clips from the film followed by a behind the scenes conversation with the filmmakers. Music from the film will be performed live by Kyle Sanna and Johnny Gandelsman. Panelists Ken Burns, Producer/Director Lynn Novick, Producer/Director Sarah Botstein, Producer/Director Pam Johnston, General Manager of GBH News will moderate the discussion.
