This is very heavy handed for a Ken Burns film, in particular the overly dramatic music and narration (completely unnecessary), which I can only assume is due to the input of Joukowsky. As such, it's not really a Ken Burns film at all. It just goes to show that just because you have an important story to tell to which you have a strong personal connection (Joukowsky is the grandson of Martha and Waitstill) does not mean that you are the right person to realise this in film form.
