Barricades: The Journey of Javert

In 18th century France, a storm is brewing. A boy finds the strength to turn his destiny around. But at a price! The son of a convict and a gypsy, Javert is born in a prison cell. He lives his boyhood as a despised and bullied outcast. Overcoming all barriers, he becomes a successful police officer, but his harsh upbringing and the horrors of the French Revolution turn a vulnerable boy into an implacable adult. He is ashamed of his gypsy heritage and unyielding in his belief in right and wrong. When he is forced to confront both his rigid beliefs and the truth about his background, Javert faces the greatest challenge of his life.
