The History of Gin — The Drink That Nearly Destroyed London​

Distilled History​

In the winter of 1734, a mother strangled her two-year-old child — and sold its clothes for gin. What sounds like an isolated case was a symptom. London, the most powerful trading city in the world, was drowning in a cheap, juniper-distilled intoxication that wiped out entire neighborhoods.This documentary tells the complete history of gin — from the juniper berry as a medieval remedy, through the distilleries of the Netherlands, to the smoke-filled alleys of Georgian London. We follow the path of a drink that began as medicine, came to England as an instrument of war, and there became a social catastrophe. How could a medicine turn into mass destruction? Why did the state let it happen — and how did it end?The history of gin is not a story about alcohol. It is a story about poverty, power, greed, and the question of how long a society can stand by and watch before it intervenes. Factually accurate, without whitewashing — told in the style of a cinematic history documentary.
