Description:
On July 14, 1789, a mob of angry Parisians stormed the Bastille and seized the King's military stores. A decade of idealism, war, murder, and carnage 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 heady (and often headless) period in Western civilization. With dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus revealing accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians, The French Revolution vividly unfurls in a maelstrom of violence, discontent, and fundamental change. King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Maximilien Robespierre, and Napoleon Bonaparte lead a cast of thousands in this essential program from THE HISTORY CHANNEL®. Narrated by Edward Herrmann (The Aviator, Gilmore Girls), The French Revolution explores the legacy that--now more than ever--stands as both a warning and a guidepost to a new millennium

The History Channel outdid themselves with the French Revolution series. The series provides outstanding insights from scholars that are interwoven throughout helping to inform viewers of historically relevant events.
It would have been a real shame had the History Channel done a poor job on one of the most important periods in history. With that said, they clearly did justice to their name and reputation with this outstanding production.
I must say one early reviewer ... Read More

This documentary helped me and my study group visualize some of the key characters and main events which sparked and fueled the French Revolution.
Although the movie seemed to miss a few points, it was an overall good summary. Everyone in my study group got an A on our exam of the French Revolution.
If you're taking Western Civilizations in college, get it! It's worth the investment! Oh, and the good thing is, I can watch it over and over again! Another awesome history ... Read More

The French Revolution is a History Channel documentary shedding light on one of the most important events of Western Civilization. The documentary follows a pragmatic, realistic, and in effect a more truthful account of the French Revolution by using many available sources in describing and discussing King Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, Marat, Robespierre, Danton, and events leading to the French Revolution (1789).
The movie does a good job of transporting the viewer to 18th Century France and presenting ... Read More
