New York: A Documentary Film

1 Season · 10 Episodes · Premiered November 14, 1999

In New York: A Documentary Film, Ric Burns (brother of the famed documentarian Ken Burns) presents an exhaustive history of New York City from the settling of the area by the Dutch to the attack by terrorists nearly 400 years later. Told in a sentimental tone, Burns weaves a lyrical tale of the great metropolis that encompasses not only the city's streets, but also that of the history of America. Through around fourteen hours in length, this epic documentary presents a thoughtful, entertaining look at our relatively young country.
