Ken Burns’ must-see TV

-

For years now I’ve been spouting an almostiden­tical version of the phrase Robert Lloyd uses to conclude his spot-on review [“A Chilling Warning to All of Us,” Sept. 19] of Ken Burns’ latest eyeopener, “The U.S. and the “… the people who most need to see it are the ones least likely to.”

There isn’t much anyone can do to change that reality, because turning on the TV and chaining people to their seats isn’t typically done in this country. However, those who see it can benefit from the results: increased vigilance, personal preparedne­ss and facing the scapegoati­ng tendencies of human nature through the ages.
