Ken Burns has serious reservations about the ESPN docuseries TheLastDance, which focuses on Michael Jordan and his time with the Chicago Bulls

"I find it the opposite direction of where we need to be going,” Burns told the.

“If you are there influencing the very fact of it getting made, it means that certain aspects that you don’t necessarily want in aren’t going to be in, period." “And that’s not the way you do good journalism ... and it’s certainly not the way you do good history, my business," he added.

Maybe KenBurns should focus on some of his works inaccuracies first. His films have helped perpetuate a false narrative on Ty Cobb and smeared his legacy.

This coming from the man who intentionally left Hispanics out of his WWII series on PBS and had to work with another filmmaker to incorporate them in to his film. Not the way you do good journalism Ken. Massive eye roll 🙄

Ken, most of the people in your documentaries are dead....MJ isn't and therefore could control the final product.....any way you look at it, it is still awesome.

I agree with burns to a point. I dont look at is a doc/journalism, more as entertainment. Kind of akin to pro wrestling vs real sports

Someone needs to do a documentary on this dude's hair...

The mistake is thinking Ken Burns and Michael Jordan are in the same business.
