]]> The documentary series The History of the World, “History as adventure, as drama, as destiny”, produced by the British channel BBC, shows with great realism some of the key events in world history, such as the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America, the atomic bomb or the death of Julius Caesar. Special care has been taken with details such as clothing, city settings, etc. Specifically, in chapter 6, some details of the first social uprisings at the end of the Ancien Régime are shown, such as the French Revolution, the Tea Mutiny, the American War of Independence, which took place between 1775 and 1783, and the rebellion of more than 100,000 Haitian slaves. The documentary does not overlook the human toll, nor the decline and erosion of revolutionary character under Dutty Boukman’s command.
