Description
An idealistic young French aristocrat fights for liberty in the American Revolution but faces darker forces and deeper challenges when he brings the struggle for freedom to his own country.
Synopsis
Marquis de Lafayette, a French nobleman driven by a desire for liberty and inspired by Enlightenment ideals, travels to the American colonies, where he rises through the ranks, earns George Washington’s trust, and helps secure American independence. Returning to France, Lafayette attempts to bring the ideals of the American Revolution to his homeland but becomes entangled in the violent chaos of the French Revolution. Betrayed by radicals, his fight turns from achieving liberty to simply surviving the deadly revolution.
