How many of the radical reforms that the Paris Commune implemented in their 72 day existence influence French laws to this day? Why did the communards tear down a statue of Napoleon III and outlaw morning croissants? How did an attempt to take the Archbishop of Paris hostage backfire badly on the radicals? 

Sarah Churchwell and David Olusoga explore what this short-lived radical government of Paris managed to achieve.
