Videodisc release of the 2011 television mini-series
Disc 1: A nation of drunkards , special features -- Disc 2: A nation of scofflaws -- Disc 3: A nation of hypocrites.
This videodisc explores the extraordinary story of what happens when a freedom-loving nation outlaws the sale of intoxicating liquor, and the disastrous unintended consequences that follow. The utterly relevant cautionary tale raises profound questions about the proper role of government and the limits of legislating morality. When the country goes dry in 1920, after a century of debate, millions of law-abiding Americans become lawbreakers overnight.
Special features: additional scenes ; interviews ; outtakes.
