East Lansing, MI – Documentary film maker Ken Burns was on the Michigan State University campus Wednesday. Burns met with students and also spoke at the Wharton Center.

Burns says his current projects include an addition to his documentary "Baseball," the history of the Roosevelt family and a film on the Vietnam War. Burns' latest documentary: "The National Parks: America's Best Idea," aired on WKAR-TV in October. WKAR's Rob South caught up with him at MSU's Student Union.
