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 feature-length documentary that encapsulates this heady (and often headless) period in Western civilization. Includes dramatic reenactments, illustrations, and paintings from the era, plus accounts from journals and expert commentary from historians.

Special feature: 'Making of The French Revolution' featurette.
