Terror Robespierre and the French Revolution
The watchwords of the French Revolution were
liberty, equality and fraternity.
Maximilien Robespierre believed in them passionately.
He was an idealist and a lover of humanity.
But during the 365 days that Robespierre sat on the
Committee of Public Safety,
the French Republic descended into a bloodbath.
'The Terror' only
came to end when Robespierre
was devoured by the repressive
machinery he'd created.
This drama-documentary tells the
story of the Terror
and looks at how
Robespierre's revolutionary idealism
so quickly became an excuse
for tyranny, and why
a lover of liberty
was so keen to use
the guillotine.
