It’s the story of the fall of the world’s most glorious, most powerful and most ancient monarchy — and of the people’s revolt that tore apart a nation and continent balanced between hope and war. It’s a gripping narrative, told as it takes place – live, with immediacy – through the eyes and voices of those who bore witness and took part in the French Revolution: politicians, journalists, citizens… It’s a historical thriller that explores the fabric of democracy, the drive for equality and the impossible quest for freedom.
