1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,417
(soft music)
2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,060
Spring 1792,
3
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:08,440
in the Saint-Marcel district of Paris.
4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,230
Life seems for an instant, more important
5
00:00:11,230 --> 00:00:12,350
than the political events
6
00:00:12,350 --> 00:00:15,833
that have been shaking the country violently since 1789.
7
00:00:19,770 --> 00:00:21,960
On Athanase and Gabrielle's wedding day,
8
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,756
we want to believe in a better tomorrow.
9
00:00:24,756 --> 00:00:27,110
To bride and groom
10
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:30,050
I would like it, if you would block your ears
11
00:00:30,050 --> 00:00:31,860
to the roar of discord.
12
00:00:31,860 --> 00:00:33,590
And if you'd open your eyes
13
00:00:33,590 --> 00:00:35,260
before this young man and this woman
14
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:36,850
who have just joined together before us,
15
00:00:36,850 --> 00:00:38,831
Athanase Lamoureux and Gabrielle Pecheloche.
16
00:00:38,831 --> 00:00:39,664
(crowd applauding)
17
00:00:39,664 --> 00:00:40,497
Bravo, wonderful.
18
00:00:41,810 --> 00:00:43,690
But in reality, the course
19
00:00:43,690 --> 00:00:45,990
of the French Revolution has just changed.
20
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:48,320
Come and look, the soldiers are marching out.
21
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,200
The French are about to experience
22
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,420
both the miracle of democracy
23
00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,645
and one of the bloodiest periods in their history.
24
00:00:55,645 --> 00:00:58,228
(gentle music)
25
00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:48,950
April 1792.
26
00:01:50,190 --> 00:01:52,070
France has just embarked on a war
27
00:01:52,070 --> 00:01:55,763
with the Austro-Hungarian Empire that will last many years.
28
00:01:57,189 --> 00:02:00,130
(tense classical music)
29
00:02:00,130 --> 00:02:03,290
Louis XVI, has pushed to have France declare war,
30
00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:05,380
on France as a second of Austria,
31
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:07,523
{\an8}nephew of Queen Mary Antoinette.
32
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,710
{\an8}In actual fact, the king hopes that
33
00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:13,260
{\an8}revolutionary France will be beaten
34
00:02:13,260 --> 00:02:16,933
and his power as absolute monarch of the country restored.
35
00:02:20,310 --> 00:02:23,460
Deputies are aware of the kings double dealing,
36
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:26,260
but in a calculation that would prove devastating,
37
00:02:26,260 --> 00:02:28,950
the members of parliament still vote for war,
38
00:02:28,950 --> 00:02:32,340
naively convinced that a victory against Austria and Prussia
39
00:02:32,340 --> 00:02:34,113
would strengthen the revolution.
40
00:02:37,810 --> 00:02:40,773
The country is suddenly frozen by fear.
41
00:02:42,370 --> 00:02:43,810
Ah, that works the cock
42
00:02:43,810 --> 00:02:46,230
Only Jean-Jean, a carefree youth
43
00:02:46,230 --> 00:02:47,703
dreams of heroism.
44
00:02:49,410 --> 00:02:52,900
{\an8}Gabrielle's son, is a child of this revolution
45
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:55,070
that he can only imagine winning.
46
00:02:55,070 --> 00:02:56,790
Hey look at Ferdinand.
47
00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:58,060
You know he's got five kids for now.
48
00:02:58,060 --> 00:02:59,680
Hey look what they gave me.
49
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:00,760
You like it.
Yeah.
50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,110
You want me to put it on.
51
00:03:06,500 --> 00:03:07,600
They're leaving now?
52
00:03:10,536 --> 00:03:13,286
(dramatic music)
53
00:03:14,244 --> 00:03:15,077
(gun bangs)
54
00:03:15,077 --> 00:03:16,590
(horse neighs)
55
00:03:16,590 --> 00:03:18,660
Right from the first weeks of combat,
56
00:03:18,660 --> 00:03:21,723
hopes of victory are dashed and replaced by panic.
57
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,720
The French army racks up defeats,
58
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,253
destabilized by the exile of officers from the aristocracy.
59
00:03:32,970 --> 00:03:35,660
The Prussian armies cross borders,
60
00:03:35,660 --> 00:03:36,880
and advance on Lille
61
00:03:38,340 --> 00:03:39,563
and soon Paris.
62
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,150
(gun bangs)
63
00:03:42,150 --> 00:03:43,480
In these troubled hours,
64
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:45,513
the cartoonists have a field day.
65
00:03:46,410 --> 00:03:48,840
Producing scores of humiliating caricatures
66
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,123
of the king and queen.
67
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,150
And the spring of 1792, mistrust of the king
68
00:03:55,150 --> 00:03:57,140
would reach a startling level
69
00:03:57,140 --> 00:03:59,633
that could only lead to further insurrection.
70
00:04:01,147 --> 00:04:03,480
{\an8}(gun bangs)
71
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:09,550
{\an8}The first warning shot comes on June 20 1792,
72
00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:10,650
when the sections from
73
00:04:10,650 --> 00:04:13,500
St. Antoine and St. Marcel band together,
74
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:15,850
to peacefully invade the National Assembly
75
00:04:15,850 --> 00:04:17,743
convening in the Tuileries Palace.
76
00:04:20,338 --> 00:04:21,370
{\an8}The 20th of June
77
00:04:21,370 --> 00:04:23,820
{\an8}will always be one of the greatest memories ever.
78
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,530
With the folks from Faubourg St. Antoine,
79
00:04:26,530 --> 00:04:28,360
we invaded the Ser de Manage,
80
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,440
there were the assembly sits.
81
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,910
It was a real founder like with drums
82
00:04:32,910 --> 00:04:34,120
and we issued
83
00:04:35,534 --> 00:04:39,460
an ultimatum to these deputies who chickened out.
84
00:04:39,460 --> 00:04:41,850
{\an8}What we wanted was very clear.
85
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:43,930
{\an8}We just demanded the destitution of the king,
86
00:04:43,930 --> 00:04:44,830
who was a traitor,
87
00:04:45,740 --> 00:04:47,210
to allow into the National Guard
88
00:04:47,210 --> 00:04:50,190
those citizens they call passive in their jargon,
89
00:04:50,190 --> 00:04:51,640
and the election of a convention
90
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,100
that would replace the assembly of fools.
91
00:04:54,100 --> 00:04:56,410
{\an8}But the deputies didn't care what we wanted, of course.
92
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:58,850
{\an8}So then we just occupied the palace.
93
00:04:58,850 --> 00:05:01,820
We even forced Louis to wear a liberty cap.
