这部纪录片将呈现北美大陆上最壮丽物种的传记，一种不可思议、毛茸茸的野兽，它在许多令人激动、神话般甚至令人心碎的故事中扮演着核心角色。故事中，水牛给我们带来了很多思考。在19世纪末令人震惊的迅速消失浪潮中，仅存的最后一批较大规模的水牛群惨遭屠杀，当这个数个世纪以来数量庞大的的动物突然间只剩下几百头时，美国人不得不开始重视起来：他们竟能将一个物种推向灭绝边缘。                                                                      　　但是，如果水牛的故事代表了我们摧毁自然界的能力的最戏剧性的展示，它也提供了令人信服的证据，证明我们有能力将一个物种从灭绝的边缘拯救回来。美国水牛历史中最鲜为人知的部分是美国人意识到他们几乎令这种动物灭绝之后，为了弥补过错所做的事情。今天，美国有超过35万头水牛，其中大部分是20世纪初五个初始群体的77只动物的后代。这个故事——从未在电视上讲述过——和水牛消亡的故事一样充满戏剧性和扣人心弦，也同样充满了令人难忘的角色。                                                                      　　由Ken Burns执导和执行制片，Dayton Duncan编剧，Julie Dunfey和Burns制作，《美国水牛》定于2023年10月16日和17日在PBS播出。（时长4小时）
