禁酒令这部PBS的纪录片分为三集，总共有五个半小时。这部纪录片由Ken Burns和Lynn Novick执导，讲述了将禁酒令写进美国第18次宪法修正案的起起伏伏和其间所涉及的各种重大事件。 当一个多世纪的激进主义反对达到顶点时，禁酒令却似乎真的提升甚至高尚化了美国人的生活水平，使得个人，家庭，乃至整个社会免于遭受滥用酒精所带来的毁灭性影响。Throughout American history, heavy alcohol consumption has been a pervasive part of its national social character. However in the 1800s, a growing Temperance movement arose determined to oppose the destructive habit by any means necessary. This series tells the story of this crusade until it achieved its ultimate goal of passing the 18th Amendment of the US Constitution which imposed prohibition. After that victory, the series covers this social reform's disastrous unintended consequences that encouraged clandestine drinking and organized crime while undermining civil liberties and society's respect for the law in ways that still reverberate today.
