Find out there is more to the story of Marie Antoinette than the simplistic tale of a frivolous sovereign whose behavior helped provoke the uprising that became the French Revolution.

Her name has become synonymous with the French monarchy and all its excesses, but there is more to the story of Marie Antoinette than the simplistic tale of a frivolous sovereign whose behavior helped provoke the uprising that became the French Revolution. This film traces her journey from the splendors of her childhood in the palaces of the mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire to her final hours in a squalid French prison cell.
