The French Revolution

On July 14, 1789, angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and seized the king’s military stores. A decade of idealism, war, murder, and violence followed, bringing about the end of feudalism and the rise of equality and a new world order. The French Revolution is a definitive feature-length documentary that encapsulates this period in Western civilization with dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus revealing accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians. This documentary explores the legacy that now more than ever stands as both a warning and a guidepost to a new millennium.
