Roebling, an immigrant from Germany. After Roebling dies in 1869, just two years into construction, his son Washington Roebling oversees the completion of the bridge.Burns's first documentary film, it was originally shown in theaters to qualify it for an Academy Award nomination, and subsequently aired on PBS as part of its The American Experience series.

The Ken Burns Effect | |
| Brooklyn Bridge / int_cb9afcd | comment |
The Ken Burns Effect: Burns' style was already fully formed at the time of his first film. The panning and scanning is heavily relied upon, such as when the camera pans down a diagram to emphasize how deep they had to sink the caissons for the bridge, or a zoom into a photo of a worker who died from decompression sickness. | |
