From WikiMD.com - Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Prohibition (miniseries) 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.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The series was produced by Sarah Botstein, Lynn Novick, and Ken Burns, with Geoffrey C. Ward as the script writer. It was first aired on the PBS in October 2011. The series focuses on the temperance movement, the passing of the Eighteenth Amendment, the significant increase in illegal activities associated with the Roaring Twenties, and the repeal of prohibition with the ratification of the Twenty-first Amendment.

Episodes[edit | edit source]

The series is divided into three parts:

  1. A Nation of Drunkards (1800–1933)
  2. A Nation of Scofflaws (1920–1933)
  3. A Nation of Hypocrites (1930–1933)

Each episode explores a different aspect of the Prohibition era, from the early temperance movement to the eventual repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.

Reception[edit | edit source]

The series was well received by critics and audiences alike. It was praised for its comprehensive coverage of the Prohibition era, including the social, political, and economic impacts of the Eighteenth Amendment.
