Ernest Hemingway — one of the greatest American writers, and among the first to live and work at the treacherous nexus of art and celebrity — is the subject of a three-part, six-hour documentary series directed by award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, coming to prime time on PBS, April 5 to 7.
What they're saying: PBS says in a release that the filmmakers "were granted unusually open access to the treasure trove of Hemingway's manuscripts, correspondence, scrapbooks and photographs housed at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston":
- "[T]he series features an all-star cast of actors bringing Hemingway (voiced by Jeff Daniels), his friends and family vividly to life. Through letters to and from his four wives — voiced by Meryl Streep, Keri Russell, Mary Louise Parker and Patricia Clarkson — the film reveals Hemingway at his most romantic and his most vulnerable, grappling at times with insecurity, anxiety and existential loneliness."

I think the Guardian offers an interesting insight:
"Too white, too male, too privileged – and according to some critics, that’s just one of the co-directors. A new PBS documentary on an American giant sails in stormy waters."
I'd say too MASCULINE for the slime who smear & censor!
