Prohibition: A film by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick

Friday, September 19 at 8 p.m.

“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. Prohibition was intended to protect all Americans from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse, but, paradoxically, the enshrining of a faith-driven moral code in the Constitution caused millions of Americans to rethink their definition of morality.

For the next three weeks, enjoy a repeat of the Ken Burns’ classic, “Prohibition.”
