About

You can stream The French Revolution (1989) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

A history of the French Revolution beginning from the decision of the king to convene the Etats-Generaux in 1789 in order to deal with France's debt problem. Part one spans the event until August 10, 1792 (when the King Louis XVI lost all authority and was imprisoned). Part two carries the story through the end of the terror in 1794.

A suffocating sense of inevitable chaos builds as the old world's foundations crumble under the weight of mounting debt and hunger. You will feel the frantic energy of the streets as a desperate populace transforms from subjects into revolutionaries.
