Martin Scorsese's gritty and realistic films consistently earn top critical praise and helped define American cinema over the past four decades. Alan Silverman has more on the director who was just honored by the Kennedy Center for the Arts as 'a true original; a fearless artist who brings out the best and most inspired work in others and in the process continues to surpass himself.'

Martin Scorsese will create a documentary film about guitarist George Harrison. The movie will include interviews and extensive archival materials and is expected to take a few years to make.
