A Ken Burns Film: National Parks - America's Best Idea
Filmed over more than six years at some of nature s most spectacular locales, this six-part, 12-hour documentary series by Ken Burns and his longtime colleague Dayton Duncan presents the history of America’s national parks—an epic story of people rich and poor, famous and unknown, soldiers and scientists, natives and newcomers, idealists, artists and entrepreneurs who were willing to devote themselves to saving some precious portion of the land they loved and in doing so, reminded their fellow citizens of the full meaning of democracy.

Reviews:
"… A strong candidate for the most beautiful program ever to air on American television. It's the Burns effort that most closely rivals "The Civil War," his masterpiece." —Orlando Sentinel
"Ten years in the making, the new film, while not a travelogue, is an unabashed love letter, with its backdrop of spectacular vistas filmed in 52 national parks" —The New York Times
"It may be safe to say that The National Parks is Burns' best work." —True West
