SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8

A NATION OF DRUNKARDS @  6:00PM

A NATION OF SCOFFLAWS @ 8:00PM

A NATION OF HYPOCRITES @ 10:00PM

PROHIBITION is a three-part, five-and-a-half-hour documentary film series directed by Ken Burns and Lynn Novick 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.

Prohibition was intended to improve, even to ennoble, the lives of all Americans, to protect individuals, families, and society at large from the devastating effects of alcohol abuse. But the enshrining of a faith-driven moral code in the Constitution paradoxically caused millions of Americans to rethink their definition of morality.

HUGH LAURIE: LET THEM TALK

A CELEBRATION OF NEW ORLEANS BLUES

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13 @ 8:00PM

“This is by Blind Blake, perhaps the greatest of all the ragtime guitarists. Not a huge amount is known about him and there’s only one surviving photograph – but he was a handsome fellow, that much is for sure. I bought myself a 1935 Martin acoustic guitar for this song and told myself there was a chance Blind Blake might have played it himself once upon a time. He might even have played this beautiful, laconic song on it, although I am prepared to concede that it is unlikely.” – Hugh Laurie

INSPECTOR LEWIS, SERIES IV

THE MIND HAS MOUNTAINS

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 @ 7:00PM & 11:00PM

“Call the guinea pigs, would you,” directs the brilliant psychiatrist Dr. Alex Gansa. The assorted subjects pile in to get their medication — all part of a week-long antidepressant drug trial taking place on the Oxford campus. The drug being tested is a form of ketamine — a horse tranquilizer and party circuit favorite. When trial subject Amy Katz is found dead, the drug-induced veil of contentment starts to tear. Katz was the unwitting object of obsession for several other patients, under the dubious care of the morally questionable Gansa. Lewis and Hathaway, aligned in their quiet distaste for psychiatry, uncover a number of provocative clues — condemning phone messages, notes and the remnants of a damning video diary made by the dead patient.
