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

A right-wing interpretation of the French Revolution. Like everything from the History Channel, pure garbage.

Accurate, entertaining. I used it as historical background b4 teaching A Tale of Two Cities. It was rather pricy.

I highly recommend this series for children 10 and up through adulthood. I had no idea how insane the people of France became during the reign of terror nor how bravely King Louis and Queen Marie Antoinette handled their executions. My 10-year-old daughter was moved to tears to the human suffering caused during those years. We home school, so this helped spurred interest in history for my children.
I would not recommend this for children under 10 because it is very graffic.

I bought this DVD long time ago but didn’t open it until yesterday when it was given to a friend and I opened it and tried to play but no sound or sometimes we could hear a not clear voice but mostly we couldn’t hear anything. it’s not a good product.
