Prohibition(2011)

As a battle raged… an era roared

Prohibition is a documentary series examining the rise, rule and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the US Constitution and the era it defined from 1920 to 1933. After nearly a century of activist campaigning, Prohibition was designed to protect individuals, families and society from alcohol's destructive effects. Instead, the policy sparked a profound moral reckoning across America. Speakeasies flourished, organized crime exploded, and millions of citizens questioned their fundamental beliefs about law, liberty and right conduct. The series traces how an ambitious reform intended to improve public health became one of history's most consequential policy failures, reshaping American culture and the relationship between government and personal freedom in ways that still resonate today.
