Prohibition is a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick that tells the story of the rise, rule and fall of the eighteenth amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed. The culmination of nearly a century of activism, prohibition was intended to improve, even to ennoble, the lives of all Americans and to protect individuals, families and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse. But the enshrining of a faith-driven moral code in the Constitution paradoxically caused millions of Americans to rethink their definition of morality. Thugs became celebrities and responsible authority was rendered impotent.
Volstead Fever: Prohibition in Minnesota
Coming October 2
