Interesting and informative. Excellent enhanced photography picture 📷/drawings. Enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Thanks to the temperance movement leading to prohibition. The rest is history. I did enjoy the embellished 1987 movie 🎥 The Untouchables. Mega bucks were generated over that 13 year reign.

The narration sounds computer generated. Some of the pictures look like they were made by AI.

You'll gain a lot of followers by narrating yourself or hiring a narrator
