Daily-ist: Tuesday

Movie buff? Military buff? Either way, today's Daily-ist has gotcha covered. Hey, we're here for YOU.

Head dowtown tonight (yes, on a Tuesday) for The Heritage Society's a one hour special screening and discussion of the newest documentary to come from director and producer Ken Burns: The War.

This seven-part series about the Second World War highlights the perspectives of a handful of ordinary American men and women who lived during this time. But, under extraordinary circumstances, no one is simply ordinary, and Ken Burns succeeds in making this impersonal war personal as he tells their tales.

Six years in the making, this PBS documentary is an impressive fourteen hours long and premieres on Sept. 23.

However, to catch a sneak peak before its debut, come to The Heritage Society on Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. to witness a unique perspective on this pivotal event in our nation’s history.

The screening will be presented by Ann Crider, Director, Community Education/Outreach at HoustonPBS.
