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 documentary series directed by award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick. “Hemingway” will air on Panhandle PBS April 5 through 7 from 7 to 9 p.m.
In three two-hour episodes, “Hemingway” tracks the meteoric rise and tragic fall of the author. This documentary series interweaves a close study of the biographical events of Hemingway's life with excerpts from his fiction, non-fiction and short stories, as well as interviews with celebrated writers, scholars and Hemingway's son, Patrick.
