Ken Burns spins his magic one more time. Perfect 3 part story telling, disc 1 is prologue to passage of the 18th Amendment, how we got there, who got us there, who got it passed. Disc 2 shows the early success, the insurmountable enforcement problem, and the start of the repeal. Disc 3 winds it all up and brings America back to before this great experiment. Enough entertainment mixed with history to keep your attention. So well researched that you'll never doubt the authenticity of the material. Well worth the watch!

I had seen this series on PBS but it often is rotated out of their programming. I wanted to have the series where I could see it whenever I wished. A great and informative look at a very tumultuous time in American history.

Burns is a great story-teller. There are interpretations of individual people or events that some may disagree with. But, it is a cohesive and interesting explanation of the era. Burns made good use of original film from the time.

What you don't know to ask. Ignorance is the natural state of being and sometimes to dig for and learn truth can be beyond our abilities. Well-made documentaries and truly journalistic writings can open history and actual events like nothing but a time machine could.
