Vaincre ou mourrir

Victory or Death is a riveting and provocative film telling the poignant story of unsung heroes inside the French Revolution. The year is 1793. Amid the tumult of the Revolution, peasants from Vendee rise up to defend themselves against forced conscription, brutal attacks on the Church, and execution of their king.

Its tale of courage and conviction reclaims forgotten heroes, and lauds timeless values of honor, duty, and freedom.
