The French Revolution Season 1 Between fear and hope (1789-1791) 2021
In the spring of 1789, France was fractured by social inequalities. In a suburb of Paris, the camera follows Jonas, Athanase and Gabrielle, witnesses to the conflagration of the people. At the same time, the Third Estate wins its standoff against the king. With the support of the clergy, he formed the first National Assembly. But, Louis XVI called on 20,000 soldiers, partly German and Swiss. This is the start of the process. On July 14, 1789, the people of Paris and the brand new guard created by the Paris Commune confront the royal troops and bring down the Bastille. The king must give up his absolute power. Faced with the popular revolts of the summer, the new Assembly voted to end privileges and adopted, on August 26, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Paris becomes a laboratory for democracy.
