 BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) - Ken Burns, criticized for overlooking the role of Hispanic soldiers in his new World War II documentary, said nearly a half-hour of footage on Hispanic and American Indian veterans is being added to the film.
Profiles of two Hispanics will conclude the first and sixth episodes of the roughly 15-hour, seven-part "The War," debuting Sept. 23 on PBS, Burns told a news conference. An Indian soldier's story will be at the end of episode five, he said.
"There's been a hot political battle, and we tried to rise above and take the high road and respond as best we could," Burns said.
