Imagine a documentary film made between 1789 and 1795. This is our “embedded” French Revolution: an exceptional, immersive experience seen through the camera lenses of those who dive into the heart of history, following every twist and turn.
It’s the story of the fall of the world’s most glorious and 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 and through the eyes and voices of those who witnessed and participated in the French Revolution: politicians, journalists, citizens…
Our film plays on the codes of documentary films to immerse the viewer in a critical political moment, as if the events had just occurred.
