PBS to Air Daniel Burnham Documentary on Labor Day

If you weren’t gaga over Daniel Burnham last year like we were here in Chicago for the centennial celebrations of his legendary “Plan of Chicago” (which included both temporary pavilions and ongoing plans for a permanent memorial), it’s now time to catch up. On Labor Day, September 6th, PBS will be airing the documentary Make No Little Plans: Daniel Burnham and the American City. Written and directed by Judith Paine McBrien, it tells Burnham’s story as well as offering up “drawings, archival photos, contemporary footage, and a fly-through animation of the ‘White City’ at the 1893 World’s Columbian Exposition.” If you can’t skip those precious holiday barbecues you’ve probably already RSVP’d to, then at least DVR it for later, as it’s sure to be good. Here’s the trailer:
