KEN BURNS: PROHIBITION (PBS)
Our Price: $39.99
Out of Stock

When it comes to combining exhaustive research, teaching tools, and nonfiction entertainment, you can't beat Ken Burns. With his latest PBS series, he and co-director Lynn Novick look at the rise and repeal of prohibition, from the drunkards it inspired to drink even more to the hypocrites who ushered in the disastrous law to the scofflaws who used the banning of booze to build crime empires. Though we're primarily dealing with the 1920s, the cautionary history lesson offered in Prohibition resonates with today's legislative battles over personal behaviors.
