Legendary award-winning filmmaker Ken Burns joins Nicolle Wallace for a special episode of “The Best People” talking about the venality and virtue of America at 250. As our nation’s 250th anniversary approaches, he joins Nicolle at the famed 92nd Street Y for an intimate conversation about the American experiment — how its failures and its successes inform each other and nudge the country forward. Ken understands that political turmoil is a hallmark of our democracy; fundamentally, we’ve been here before.  He shares why he believes Trump’s “authoritarianism” will be defeated and why we’re going to make it, by looking at history. It’s a conversation you don’t want to miss.
