On June 19th the esteemed Academy of Arts and Sciences released their investigative report to Congress on the declining state of the Humanities and Social Sciences in our nation’s schools. Introducing that report was a 7-minute film by the Ewers Brothers featuring several of the country’s most notable Humanists. Through first hand interviews with the likes of George Lucas, Yo-Yo Ma, Sandra Day O’Connor, John Lithgow and others, The Ewers Brothers paint a stirring portrait of the importance of the Humanities in our national curriculum and beg the larger question of what would happen to us as a nation without them.
