The fifth documentary from American filmmaker Ken Burns, this one delves deep into the life of contemporary painter Thomas Hart Benton, who taught Americans that the price all artists must pay is that they must remain true to themselves, as well as their talents. Narrated by Jason Robards. This one does not rely on voice acting.

Thomas Hart Benton's paintings were energetic and uncompromising. Today his works are in museums, but Benton hung them in saloons for ordinary people to appreciate.
