The evening will feature approximately 40 minutes of clips from the upcoming film, as well as a discussion with panelists Don Henley, historian Douglas Brinkley, the filmmakers Erik Ewers and Christopher Loren Ewers, and Thoreau scholar/author Kristin Case. The panel will be moderated by Lois Brown Ph.D., Foundation Professor of Literature and Director of the Center for the Study of Race and Democracy at Arizona State University.

“HENRY DAVID THOREAU”, a three-hour documentary, will premiere on PBS stations on March 30, 2026 (episodes 1 and 2), and March 31, 2026 (episode 3). Directed by Chris and Erik Ewers of Ewers Brothers Productions, and executive produced by Ken Burns and Don Henley, the film features narration by George Clooney, and the voices of Jeff Goldblum as Thoreau, Ted Danson as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Meryl Streep as several contemporaries of Thoreau, and Tate Donovan as Ellery Channing.

The Walden Woods Project is honored to have assisted in the development of this film, through the pivotal role of executive production by our Founder and Chairman of the Board, Don Henley. We are anticipating a strong and favorable public reaction to this inspirational documentary that reveals to a national audience, for the first time, the complex and enduring legacy of Thoreau that made him such an influential figure in American history.
