You can stream Prohibition (2011) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

The history of the rise, rule and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and the entire era it encompassed (1920-33). After nearly a century of activism, Prohibition was intended to improve the lives of all citizens by protecting individuals, families and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse; but paradoxically it made millions of people rethink their definition of morality.

Could a single law intended to save the nation actually trigger its most lawless decade? This deep dive traces how well-meaning moral crusaders inadvertently birthed the modern era of organized crime and systemic corruption.
