CPTV’s New Documentary, Prohibition: Connecticut Goes Dry, Chronicles the State’s Unique Role During America’s Greatest Social Experiment


In 1920, the 18th Amendment was enacted banning the sale of alcohol across the country. However, in our “land of steady habits,” alcohol consumption was a habit that proved hard to break.


In the new CPTV original documentary, Prohibition: Connecticut Goes Dry, filmmakers Jennifer Boyd and Sara Conner explore Connecticut’s unique role in the prohibition movement, from the early temperance advocates of Litchfield to the lawless rum runners of Long Island Sound.


Using archival photographs and footage, the CPTV documentary also tells the story of Connecticut citizens who profited from smuggling and selling alcohol.
