"The modern Relevance of the ‘Les Miserables’ hero story" PBS NewsHour 4/26/2019

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  PBS "Masterpiece" has a new spin on an old story, with a six-hour serial version of “Les Miserables.”  Unlike recent Broadway and film presentations, this one is not a musical, and its length offers the audience more time to connect to characters.  Jeffrey Brown talks to stars Dominic West, David Oyelowo, and Lily Collins; and Executive Producer Rebecca Eaton, about the hero story's current relevance.
