READ THE WHOLE STORY

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker KEN BURNS had thought he had finished a 14 hour documentary on World War II. When a reporter asked him if he had included interviews from Hispanic veterans, Burns cavalierly said no. Little did he know that Hispanics were, relatively, the most decorated people in that war and their participation involved the heroism contrasted with the discrimination suffered upon their return.

Burns had included interviews with Blacks, Asians, women, but no Hispanics. Trying to excuse the oversight, Burns later said everyone's story could not be included and finding hispanic veterans was not easy.

BUT AN AGREEMENT HAS BEEN REACHED

Other strips may find their way on this page but since this artist first heard of this story, it has been reported that Burns has sort-a, kind-a seen his mistake and, without altering his film, he's going to add footage at the end of each segment as benevolent second thought. It's not exactly the inclusion Latinos were looking for but, to Burns mind, it was giving SOMEthing. His balls need to be busted but now for other reasons.
