The Hidden Rebellion is a docudrama about an 18th Century popular uprising against the French Revolution, and how the rebellion was brutally suppressed by the Revolutionary armies. Victorious at first, the Vendean farmers of Western France are ultimately exterminated in a mass-slaughter of 150,000 inhabitants -- largely women, children and clergy -- in what would become one of Europe's first modern genocides.
