I am ridiculously excited about this upcoming documentary, set to air on PBS October 2nd-4th. Directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick, Prohibition is a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series that tells the story of the rise, rule, and fall of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and the entire era it encompassed.
Ken Burns has a way of making history come alive and his films frequently spark a reawakening of interest in specific time periods for our popular culture. I am thrilled that his newest project tackles the era featured in my current novel, First Impressions. If you are a fan of history, make sure to check your local listings.
