What Henry David Thoreau did for two years Anna and Harlan Hubbard did for forty. Anna and Harlan lived life as few people in modern times have and in doing so inspired thousands.  

Atkinson's presentation will include a 20-minute preview of his documentary as well as an engaging look into the motivations and insights of this unforgettable couple. Atkinson has been producing documentaries about Kentucky and Kentuckians for almost 40 years. He has had more than 20 documentaries broadcast on KET. His programs on Thomas Merton, the Hubbards and our passion for high school basketball have been broadcast statewide and nationally. 

This year Gov. Andy Beshear presented Atkinson with the Kentucky Art Council’s Governor’s Award for Media. Atkinson is currently at work on a program about the Ohio River.
