Ken Burns AMERICAN JOURNEYS
“Our films, and Tauck’s U.S. journeys, are about sharing America’s story in a memorable and compelling way. We both
seek to engage our audiences by stimulating their interest, increasing their knowledge and inspiring a strong emotional connection with stories from America’s past that help us understand who we are today.
” — Ken Burns
Our partnership with documentary filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan
Filmmakers Ken Burns and Dayton Duncan bring their unique perspectives, knowledge, and behind-the-scenes insights to Tauck guests with Ken Burns American Journeys, a partnership that is comprised of three components: trips that are Crafted by Tauck & Ken Burns; exclusive filmed vignettes, Stories by Ken Burns, that will be featured on select 2012 U.S. Tauck trips; and Ken Burns Events, once-in-a-lifetime travel experiences.
Ken Burns co-founded the documentary company Florentine Films in 1976, and has been making films for more than 30 years. Since his Academy Award- nominated film Brooklyn Bridge in 1981, his filmography includes The National Parks: America’s Best Idea; The War; Jazz; Baseball; Prohibition and The Civil War, which was American public television’s highest-rated series. His work has won twelve Emmy Awards and two Oscar nominations, and in September of 2008, at the News & Documentary Emmy Awards, Ken was honored by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
Dayton Duncan is the author of ten books and former director of the National Park Foundation. He wrote and produced (along with Ken Burns) The National Parks: America’s Best Idea, for which he won two Emmys. Duncan was also the co-writer and consulting producer for a 12-hour series on the American West that won the Erik Barnouw Award from the Organization of American Historians, and he has been a consultant for many Ken Burns films.
