[LM_NET] HIT: Video on the French Revolution

[Aviva Adler <aviva28@GMAIL.COM>]

Thank you everyone for the responses, and hope everyone is adjusting to the
return to work!
Here is the original request and some responses:

Our history teacher asked me to order a video or DVD that contains some sort
of dramatic reenactment of the French Revolution. She would be willing to
use an online video as well. Anyone have something to recommend?

I am the Academic Decathlon coach on my campus and this year's topic is the
French Revolution.  I saw a special on the History Channel just the other
day that was fantastic.  It's long (2 hrs) but it covers everything in just
enough detail to keep it interesting.  I'm going to order it on Monday when
we get back to school.  Here's a link to the site:

**********************************
Many teachers at my school use the video 'Marie Antionette' to show students
the extravagent lifestyle of the 1st estate in France at this time. Some
teachers only use snippets of the movie.
I have directed many teachers to the free video site "how stuff works" video
where they can find over 50 videos (ranging in length) on the topic. See
link below:

There are a great deal of worth while online videos at this site.
*******************
I watched a wonderful documentary (which was mostly re-enactment) on The
French Revolution the other day on the History Channel.
http://shop.history.com/detail.php?p=68316&v=All  They only had one
questionable part...they flashed a black and white cartoon showing Mary
Antoinette in a sexual position. It was an actual cartoon from that time
period, and the creators of the documentary stated that there were several
of these scandalous cartoons depicting her at the time.
***************************
Its been a few years but I saw this show on the French Revolution when it
first aired it was quite good
