DESCRIPTION:The Department of Formative Education (DFE) will be hosting an 
 exclusive pre-screening of clips from the three part documentary\, HENRY D
 AVID THOREAU\, from executive producers Ken Burns and Don Henley\, directe
 d by Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers\, which will air on PBS on Mar
 ch 30th. The screening will be followed by a Q&A moderated by DFE visiting
  professor and consultant to the film\, Kristen Case\, with directors Chri
 s Loren Ewers and Erik Ewers.\n\nHENRY DAVID THOREAU examines the life and
  work of the 19th-century writer in the context of antebellum New England 
 and the larger United States\, as well as through the universal themes he 
 focused on in his writings: an individual’s relationship to the state\, 
 how to live an authentic life\, our connection to nature\, and the impact 
 of race on American life. Set against the political and social tensions of
  the mid-19th century\, the film traces Thoreau’s journey from his early
  days in Concord\, Massachusetts to his deep engagement with the moral cri
 ses of his time\, including industrialization\, slavery\, war\, and enviro
 nmental degradation. Through his essays\, journals\, and landmark works su
 ch as Walden and Civil Disobedience\, he became an inspiration for generat
 ions of writers\, thinkers\, and activists. \n\nHENRY DAVID THOREAU will p
 remiere on March 30th (Episodes 1 and 2) and March 31st\, 2026\, at 9:00 p
 .m. ET on PBS (check local listings). It will also be available to stream 
 on all station-branded PBS platforms including PBS.org and the PBS App. To
