Between fear and hope (1789-1791)
Air date: 2021-07-13
In the spring of 1789, France was fractured by social inequalities. In a suburb of Paris, the camera follows Jonas, Athanase and Gabrielle, witnesses to the conflagration of the people. At the same time, the Third Estate wins its standoff against the king. With the support of the clergy, he formed the first National Assembly. But, Louis XVI called on 20,000 soldiers, partly German and Swiss. This is the start of the process. On July 14, 1789, the people of Paris and the brand new guard created by the Paris Commune confront the royal troops and bring down the Bastille. The king must give up his absolute power. Faced with the popular revolts of the summer, the new Assembly voted to end privileges and adopted, on August 26, the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. Paris becomes a laboratory for democracy.

It's 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical pirate Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard, reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder's paradise, this is a place like no other on earth - and a mounting threat to international commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the buccaneers' haven to take down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can't help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for knowledge knows no bounds - and no law. But Lowe is not the only danger to Blackbeard's rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one great weakness - a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny.

Through riveting firsthand testimony of witnesses and survivors who as children endured persecution, violence and flight as their families tried to escape Hitler, this three-part documentary series delves deeply into the tragic human consequences of public indifference, bureaucratic red tape and restrictive quota laws in America.
