Per què balla en Jan Petit?

The fascinating story of a revolt turned into song

Three troubadours of legends, that travel the world searching ancient histories, voyage to Vilafranca de Roergue, a town located in the ancient region of Occitania, to discover the true story of Jan Petit. The point is that the protagonist of the popular children's song was not a buffoon or a minstrel: he was an Occitan barber who leaded a popular uprising that defied the powerful French monarchy.

How did a barber achieve that an oppressed country rise up against the abuses of the French king?
