Award-winning filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick turn the lens to an iconic literary figure in Hemingway, a three-part, six-hour documentary series tracking the meteoric rise and tragic fall of the author Ernest Hemingway.

Heralded as one of the greatest American writers, Hemingway’s works of fiction include novels The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls and The Old Man and the Sea; short stories “Hills Like White Elephants,” “The Short and Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” “Up in Michigan,” “Indian Camp” and “The Snows of Kilimanjaro;” as well as the nonfiction works Death in the Afternoon and A Moveable Feast.

“Hemingway is both an intimate, turbulent family saga and an examination of some of the greatest works of American literature in the 20th century.” – Ken Burns

However, in his final years, Hemingway suffered from chronic alcoholism, traumatic brain injuries and serious mental illness.

Hemingway interweaves biographical events of the author’s life with excerpts from his fiction, nonfiction and short stories, informed by interviews with celebrated writers, scholars and moving commentary from Hemingway’s surviving son, Patrick.

Narrated by Burns’ longtime collaborator Peter Coyote, the series features an all-star cast of actors bringing Hemingway (voiced by Jeff Daniels), his friends and family vividly to life, including his four wives, voiced by Meryl Streep, Keri Russell, Mary-Louise Parker and Patricia Clarkson.

“Hemingway is both an intimate, turbulent family saga and an examination of some of the greatest works of American literature in the 20th century,” said director Ken Burns. “The documentary attempts to go beyond prevailing assumptions about Ernest Hemingway and his writing. At the same time, we are unsparing in our inquiry into less well-known aspects of his character and writing. Our intent is to offer viewers an honest portrayal of a complex and conflicted writer who left an indelible mark on literature.”
