The document discusses organized crime during the 1920s-1930s prohibition era in the United States. It describes how gangs formed to aid the illegal bootlegging of alcohol, with prominent gang leaders including Al Capone and Charles Luciano. It then examines several films that portrayed organized crime from this era, including Scarface (1932), which was loosely based on Al Capone's rise to power in Chicago during prohibition. Bonnie and Clyde is also discussed, noting how their criminal activities gained some public support due to the economic hardships of the Great Depression.
