Minnesota 13: From Grain to Glass is a documentary film that delves into the clandestine history of moonshine production in Stearns County, Minnesota, during the Prohibition era. Directed by Kelly Nathe and Norah Shapiro, the film explores how local farmers, many of whom were German and Polish Catholics, turned to distilling as a means of survival during the Great Depression. The resulting product, known as "Minnesota 13," gained a reputation for its high quality and was even sought after by organized crime figures from Chicago and Kansas City .

In a blend of fact and fiction, including family secrets, documents from the era, and a thin, fragmentary case file unsealed by the court, Sheila O’Connor tells the riveting story of V, a talented fifteen-year-old singer in 1930s Minneapolis who aspires to be a star. Drawing on the little-known American practice of incarcerating adolescent girls for “immorality” in the first half of the twentieth century, O’Connor follows young V from her early work as a nightclub entertainer to her subsequent six-year state school sentence for an unplanned pregnancy. As V struggles to survive within a system only nominally committed to rescue and reform, she endures injustices that will change the course of her life and the lives of her descendants.
