There was a lot of similarities between the Prohibition movement and various movements that are currently going on in American Society. World War 2 occurred during this period. German Immigrants just happened to own a lot of the beer companies at the time and the American public was like a mad dog, frothing at the mouth and punished these Americans with Germanic ancestry that had nothing to do with what Germany was doing overseas. Those that might not have cared about prohibition suddenly were all on board with the issue just to get back at those Germans. After watching this documentary, when I see some of the behaviors exhibited by some of my fellow Americans concerning different issues, I can view it from an educated light, having seen how ancestors behaved when the issue of prohibition was front and center. People can be so easily led by their emotions and can easily lose sight of all reasoning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fun Ken Burns Documentary on Prohibition *by F***Z on Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2020* This documentary series is probably one of the more fun Ken Burns films in his library. Fun being how ridiculous the Prohibition amendment in the constitution that lasted 13 years. While it seemed to have good intentions on paper. In practice it was all but a joke.Ken Burns explores all perspectives in this period in history during the late 1890’s to1933. The federal govt, the women of the suffrage movement, the casual Americans, lawmen, gangsters, and crooks that were at times sidelined but took advantage of the law to become rich.Burns still stays on point on the story he wants to cover throughout the episodes. The pacing does go all over the place but it fits the tone he wants to tell. The narration, voice actors, and all do a really good job in immersing yourself to the world.Overall, this is a great documentary mini-series. If you like Ken Burns and his work this will be for you. If you are also a casual who doesn’t know the weird history behind Prohibition, this documentary series will fit your interest as well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Eye Opening *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2017* As usual, very professional and comprehensive review by Mr. Burns. Astounding history that isn't talked about much. In high school we were taught the beginning and ending dates and that it worked poorly. The effects of the prohibition are with us today. It did not give birth to the mafia in this country but it certainly was the steroid shot that increased its power and influence.to an astounding degree. Giuliani and Co. seriously wounded it but it morphed and is still with us today.
