Watch Cities of the Underworld online: Episode 12 Underground Bootleggers

Portland, Oregon is famous for its beer and its music, but 100 years ago, it was a city full of vice. By the early 1900's, Portland was known as the most dangerous port in the world, a place where you could just as soon get your fix of drugs and illegal liquor as find yourself trapped in a cell buried beneath the ground. From the nefarious expanses of the Shanghai tunnels, where men were sold into slavery on the high seas, to the hidden dens of opium runners and the sly speakeasies of Prohibition, Portland had it all. Host Don Wildman ventures beneath the refined modern streets above into a covert world of slave tunnels, fight clubs, gambling dens, and into an ingenious modern water system that literally keeps the city from drowning in its own filth. We're peeling back the layers of time on Cities of the Underworld: Underground Bootleggers.
