Prohibition
Grade Range: 6-8, 9-12
Acclaimed documentary filmmakers Ken Burns and Lynn Novick present the story of America's "Great Experiment." The three part series traces the American populace from a "nation of drunkards" to a "nation of scofflaws," where previously law-abiding citizens skirted the ban on alcohol, to a "nation of hypocrites." The series goes beyond the history of the prohibition movement and analyzes the paradoxical nature of the 1920s, the morality of a nation, and what it meant to be a law-abiding citizen.
