Seeing, Searching, Being: Three Films on Willam Segal by Ken Burns

Philosopher, publisher, writer, and painter, William Segal (1904-2000), has searched relentlessly for meaning in the 20th Century. A student of G. I. Gurdjieff and D.T. Suzuki, Segal helped bring Eastern and Western spiritual traditions together, always stressing what actually connects humanity as opposed to what differentiates it. Segal had befriended famed documentary filmmakers Ken Burns, and the two men collaborated on this captivating trilogy.
