Napoleon (2000)

The documentary on Napoleon Bonaparte (1769–1821) follows him through his military victories in Italy and his crowning as Emperor in 1804. Napoleon experienced major military and political victories which gave him control over Europe on the height of his power in 1810 and later dramatic military defeat between 1812 and 1815. He spent the rest of his life writing his memoirs on St. Helena. David Grubin, whose work in film and television has brought him many prestigious awards, was producer, director, and writer of Napoleon.
