Al Capone's Bloody Business
He was Chicago’s first celebrity gangster, a mob kingpin whose name is still synonymous with the city around the world. Southsider Al Capone took advantage of Prohibition to turn Chicago into a “ bootlegger’s paradise,” making a fortune in the process and murdering anyone who got in his way. But for all the bloody mayhem he caused, the law eventually collared him for a surprisingly mundane crime: tax evasion. Follow Capone’s rise and ignominious fall, and meet the shadowy cast of characters that made up his “Chicago Outfit.” Audio-narrated descriptions of key visual elements are available.
