Ken Burns
Ken Burns' style can be instantly recognized. He has won more awards than any other documentary filmmaker and has received millions of viewers for his work. The Civil War received the most viewers of any PBS series, and was nominated for more than 40 times. The Civil War photographer Shelby Foote became a celebrity thanks to it. Ken Burns' style has facilitated the expansion of history programming.
Burns' approach to a presidential document is not new. Burns has been making movies every year for at least a decade. And he has a brand new film in the works. He plans to release a documentary of six hours, which will consist of three segments about the U.S.'s involvement in the Holocaust. While the title of the film has yet to be finalized it will explore the question "What did Americans know about Holocaust and the extermination" of Jews.
Burns' films cover the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. He has documented the lives and times of several prominent Americans, such as Frank Lloyd Wright, Susan B. Anthony, Abraham Lincoln, and others. His documentaries have been nominated to win fifteen Emmy Awards as well as two Academy Awards. His films are now a major cultural and educational force that attracts millions of viewers.
Woodrow Wilson
Woodrow Wilson was an intellectually intelligent and progressive president who oversaw America's rise as a world power. Unfortunately, his presidency was characterized by a series of controversial decisions, including his reluctance to advance civil rights and his poor physical stamina. These and other aspects of Woodrow Wilson's career and life are covered in the Woodrow Wilson presidential documentary.
As the first volume of this series starts, Wilson is only partially recovered from a stroke. Although he has to deal with domestic and international problems, his primary goal is for the Senate to approve of the Treaty of Versailles. The volume opens on Christmas Eve, 1920, during the final days of the Wilson administration. Wilson and his advisers fail with a program that will work. This puts the administration on the edge of collapse. On March 1, the cabinet meets for the final time. Wilson is caught in a dilemma when Wilson refuses to speak up by the new German government.
These documentaries were created in collaboration with historians including Dr. Asantewa Borkyewa (supervisory program manager at Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum) and the former curator of President Wilson House Museum. Woodrow Wilson presidential documentaries also featured Dr. John Milton Cooper. Cooper is the author of Woodrow Wilson. A biography and a professor emeritus of University of Wisconsin Madison. Interviews were also conducted with Boakyewa and Dr. Sidney Bland (author of Lucy Burns' biography).
Robert Reiner
Robert Reiner has been relegated to Hollywood liberalism, but he's lost the ability to direct mainstream entertainment. His last film, "The American President," demonstrates that he's less of a filmmaker and more of a ride operator. Reiner portrays John Walcott, the Knight Ridder editor in Shock and Awe. This film shows how two journalists exposed lies by the Bush administration and how the media distorted the official story. It not only documents the terrible history of the war but also captures both the irreverent patter from journalists and the smugness shown by Bush administration cabinet officials.
The Story of Us, meanwhile, is similar to The American President in that its ending contradicts the film's premise and exists solely to give Michelle Pfeiffer a hero moment. Reiner's lacklustre feminist instincts mean that he is forced to embrace casual sexuality. Reiner's documentary filmmaking style is not very sexy. But it's evident that Reiner can excel when presented with superior material.

What is the most secretive place in the world, and why?
The answer to that question may shock you. It may even make it uncomfortable, as it challenges our perceptions of reality and our lives. But there is an explanation for why this place exists, and it's not what you would expect.
The City of God was its name by the ancient Greeks. In the Bible, it was known as the City of Destruction.
It's known in India as Kashi (Kashmir). It's known in Russia as Novgorod.
Here in America, however, it is called The Village That Disappeared.
One tiny town in western New York State lost its 1,200 inhabitants without trace. A road sign pointing to the former location of the town was all that was left, except for a few bodies and cars.
This tiny town vanished without any trace. Some say it was swallowed up by the Earth. Others claim that a meteorite hit destroyed it. Others claim it was taken away by aliens.
Despite what may have happened, the people who lived in this once-thriving area are confident that their town will not be lost forever. They had just moved from one town to the other.
A website is available to track the disappearance and recovery of Zugspitz, which was lost in the Great Depression.
So, where exactly did this town go? It's in Switzerland, actually!
The border of Austria and Germany is at Zugspitze. A huge lake, Lake Zugspitze, is located just beyond the summit.
It has always fascinated my that so many towns have disappeared but others still exist. Why do some disappear while others survive? I decided to investigate.
I wanted more information about the mysterious disappearing of towns. Is it possible for a place to vanish? How can a town disappear from existence?
It turns out that there are several theories about the phenomenon of vanishing towns. One theory states that a town vanishes when all its buildings are destroyed. Another theory says that the town just moves. The third theory is that the town was never actually there.
Although theories may be a bit speculative, it is a fact that numerous towns have been destroyed by the elements. This video looks into the history of those places and investigates their current status.
What is the most interesting fact about the human body?
We have two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, four limbs, a mouth, a nose, and a penis. It's true, we have more 50 parts of our body, but there is one thing missing. A heart.
The heart is a pump which circulates blood throughout the body. The blood moves through the veins. It transports oxygen and nutrients to your cells. It also removes carbon dioxide.
Each minute, the heart pumps 5 liters of blood. This is equivalent in daily coffee consumption to an adult who consumes approximately 2 to 3 cups.
The heart pumps blood 24 hours a days, 365 days per year. While you are sleeping, your heart beats about 100 times per second.
The color of someone's skin can tell if they are healthy or not. If you examine the skin closely, you will see tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These small vessels carry blood from the large blood vessel in the skin back towards the heart. If blood flow is blocked, skin can turn blue or purple.
People with sickle cell disease lack red blood cells. Patients with sickle cell disease have their blood become sticky and harden, leading to severe illness.
To stop bleeding from a cut, you can apply a bandage to the wound. Blood must flow in order for the wound to heal properly. To do this, doctors insert a needle through the skin into the vein next to the injury. This allows the blood to drain from the injured area.
Doctors also insert tubes (catheters) into the artery near the site where the blood clot forms. This keeps the patient alive till the blood clot dissolves naturally.
What is the reason actors are blacklisted?
An actor is more likely to get rejected than a writer. Actors are likely to be rejected often. However, it doesn't really matter as you will eventually meet someone who is truly your love.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. But most actors don't want to make a lot of money. Actors love acting, and love telling stories. Actors are likely to be outspoken.
It is possible to be told that you are not suitable for the role, or that you are too old or too young. Or you might audition for a movie and lose out to another person. It happens all the time.
You may be criticised once your casting is complete. People may tell you that your makeup looks terrible and you shouldn't use it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes you'll be criticized because you're playing a character that isn't realistic or authentic. Perhaps you play a homosexual man and everyone thinks that you're straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes, they want you to sound more like a man or a woman. Most of the time, however, they want to hear better.
Negative criticisms are best ignored. Actors often feel that they've failed if they are told they did something wrong. But they're not guilty of anything.
They didn't have the talent to make them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
No matter the reason, it is important to remember that you will not be blacklisted if there are other jobs available. There are plenty of jobs available and you'll find them.
Keep trying and you will eventually succeed.

Hollywood scandals that stunned the world
Nothing is more shocking that seeing someone be famous for their wrong reasons. It's even more frightening to see them fall from grace.
The best thing about watching how an industry reacts when it makes mistakes is the best part. We've all heard stories of celebrities who used drugs and alcohol excessively. Some even died young because of it.
But the worst part is when those same stars go public with their problems and are shunned by everyone. That's where we found ourselves last week.
Heath Ledger lost his long and successful career. After a short battle with death, Heath Ledger succumbed to prescription pills.
His family and friends were unable to accept his death, and the media was quick to criticize him.
Heath was once one of the most gifted actors currently working. His performances in Brokeback Mountain earned Heath two Academy Award nominations.
Heath, in addition to acting, also wrote and directed films such as A Knight's Tale (Monster's Ball) and Iron Man (3).
Hollywood loved Heath, however he soon grew too big for his good looks. He became addicted to drugs and drank heavily. He finally went to rehab, and he was clean.
Now that he was sober, he wanted to make amends. He produced a documentary called Room 237 that documented the making process of The Shining. The film was originally supposed to be released in this year's theaters, but it will not make its way into the cinemas until next year.
Heath was unsuccessful in his attempts to get back into Hollywood. In fact, he was actually twice arrested for drug-related charges.
We are not suggesting that Heath should be allowed back into the show business. But it would have been nice to get some help before things spiralled out of control.
We hope Heath's story warns others who might think they can still have it all.
