Paris Falls

It is 1870. French armies are annihilated. Paris is encircled, bombarded, starved and humiliated. A Prussian Emperor is crowned in the Palace of Versailles. French Governments fail their citizens. Paris turns on itself in shame. The Commune is born.

1870 -1871 saw a catastrophic failure of French political and military leadership. ‘Paris Falls’ examines the war through the eyes of those who were there.
