Ken Burns on learning 'The Address'

Filmmaker Ken Burns' newest work tells the story of the Greenwood School in Vermont, which encourages students to memorize the Gettysburg Address.

The film is part of an outreach effort that calls for schoolchildren across America to recite the address and post it on the Web.

"The Address" airs April 15 on PBS. Burns joins The Daily Circuit to discuss the film.
