Saunders: Ken Burns' "Jackie Robinson" is multilayered portrait
In this March 5, 1964 file photo, former baseball star Jackie Robinson, center, appears with demonstrators in a civil rights march on the capitol in Frankfort, Ky. Robinson is the subject of a two-part documentary, "Jackie Robinson" directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns and David McMahon airing Monday and Tuesday at 9 p.m. on most PBS stations. (I just finished watching "Jackie Robinson," and I'm feeling overwhelmed.
You know that feeling? When you are so excited about something and you want to tell everybody everything about it, but you just can't find the words?
That's how good the new PBS documentary is.
