I watched it, and here's what was said: *Talk about how Louis was sort of messing things up, rich don't do squat, bad life for average Frenchmen* "This is where Robespierre stepped in. He set up a parliamentary body to invoke their (the people's) will and called for the rich to pay taxes." So...erm...WHAT? o.o; They are perhaps referring to the National Convention and not the Estates General, but...um. "Set up"?
Yeah. Personally, after reading about 1789-1794, the following years seem almost depressing. XD; Events reached a peak and then just kind of...puttered out. However, when your documentary is supposed to be about the French Revolution, I would just assume it would cover all of it. Like you said, though, it allows for worse hysteria about the Terror.
BLAH. Not at all promising. Perhaps we should take matters into our own hands? >D;
