Ken Burns and Lynn Novick's latest documentary "Prohibition" will premiere on October 2. Prohibition and its after effects changed the beer industry in the United States, and the craft microbreweries continue to suffer from the lingering influence of that period.
The three part documentary touches on feminism, jazz, freedom, and the concept of a single fix solution for all of society's social ills.
... this [film] shouted out its relevance to us... this is about single issue political campaigns, wedge issues that metastasize with horrible, unintended consequences, it's the demonization of immigrants, it's a whole group of people who feel they've lost control of their country and want to take it back, and are absolutely sure without any compromise how things should be.
