About HENRY DAVID THOREAU
HENRY DAVID THOREAU is a new, three-part, three-hour film directed by Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers, and executive produced by Ken Burns and Don Henley. Henry David Thoreau helped define modern environmentalism and nonviolent resistance, yet his life has been obscured by myth. The author of Walden and Civil Disobedience, he was brilliant but flawed, idealistic but opinionated. A writer, scientist and activist, his words resonate urgently with today’s challenges as humanity looks for ways to live in harmony with nature—and each other.
Major funding for HENRY DAVID THOREAU was provided by The Better Angels Society, Jeff Skoll, the Mansueto Foundation, Tyson Foods, and The Arthur Vining Davis Foundations. Funding was also provided by the Tyson Family Foundation, The Neil and Anna Rasmussen Foundation, and The Better Angels Society members: The Keith Campbell Foundation for the Environment and Mark A. Tracy. Additional funding was provided by Roxanne Quimby Foundation, Jim and Mona Mylen through The HeartSpace Fund, and Elizabeth Kenny.
