Description:
In 1794, Maximilien Robespierre, a key figure in the French Revolution, argued that political violence was necessary to achieve virtue, effectively pioneering the concept of "state terror." This film uses drama, archival footage, and expert interviews to explore Robespierre's pivotal year leading the Committee of Public Safety, the central power of Revolutionary France. Slavoj Zizek defends Robespierre's actions as justifiable terror for good, while Simon Schama links Robespierre’s policies to the horrors of the gulag and 20th-century concentration camps. Based on original sources, the drama depicts the high-stakes politics of the Committee during the tumultuous "Year Two" of the new Republic.
