Veteran documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, who has directed such acclaimed docuseries as The Civil War and The Vietnam War, has come out and slammed ESPN's new Michael Jordan docuseries The Last Dance in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, saying "it's not how you do good journalism." Of course, Burns hasn't watched The Last Dance yet, but that's only because he fundamentally disagrees with how it was made.
