Release Date: 03/26/21

Stirring and evocative original music from the much-anticipated documentary film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Hemingway

Ernest Hemingway, the iconic literary figure considered 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 an upcoming three-part, six-hour documentary series directed by award-winning filmmakersKen Burns and Lynn Novick (THE VIETNAM WAR, PROHIBITION, THE WAR, FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT) coming to PBS April 5-7, 2021. Voice Actors Include Jeff Daniels as Hemingway; Meryl Streep, Keri Russell, Mary-Louise Parker and Patricia Clarksonas Hemingway's Four Wives.



The documentary paints an intimate picture of Hemingway the writer--who captured on paper the complexities of the human condition in spare and profound prose, and whose work remains deeply influential around the world--while also penetrating the myth of Hemingway the man's man, to reveal a deeply troubled and ultimately tragic figure. The film also explores Hemingway's limitations and biases as an artist and a man of his time.



'HEMINGWAY is both an intimate, turbulent family saga and an examination of some of the greatest works of American literature in the 20th century,' said director Ken Burns. 'The documentary attempts to go beyond prevailing assumptions about Ernest Hemingway and his writing. At the same time, we are unsparing in our inquiry into less well-known aspects of his character and writing. Our intent is to offer viewers an honest portrayal of a complex and conflicted writer who left an indelible mark on literature.'



Produced by Grammy award-winning producer and violinist,Johnny Gandelsman, the album features stirring and evocative original music, inspired by one of America's greatest writers.
