Prohibition: A Film by Ken Burns & Lynn Novick
Directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Prohibition tells the story of the rise, rule, and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed.
From 1920-1933, America banned the sale, manufacture, and transportation of alcohol for consumption nationally. During this 13-year period simply referred to as “Prohibition,” millions of Americans reacted by turning away from the moralistic universe it apotheosized.
