Prohibition: Ken Burns Returns Advocates of the US Constitution’s 18 th Amendment that banned the manufacture, sale or transportation of “intoxicating liquors” had high hopes that ridding the nation of alcohol would improve society’s ills. But after 13 years, America’s “Great Experiment” failed. Filmmaker Ken Burns joins with co-producer Lynn Novick to reveal the story behind Prohibition, going far beyond the oft-told tales of gangsters, rum runners, flappers and speakeasies to reveal a complicated and divided nation in the throes of momentous transformation. The series’ first installment, A Nation of Drunkards, traces alcohol’s integration into the fabric of American culture. A Nation of Scofflaws examines the problems of enforcing the 18 th Amendment. In the final episode, A Nation of Hypocrites, Prohibition’s high social cost begins to override its promise, and efforts to repeal the amendment ensue. Read more about the making of Prohibition in an exclusive interview with Ken Burns on page 23.
