Episode description as stored

1381. In the English countryside, one peasant has had enough. His resistance leads tens of thousands of armed peasants to march on London. They’re furious about taxes, about wages held down by law, about a world that feels abandoned by God. But they aren’t marching to overthrow the king. They are marching to rescue him. Paul Greengrass and Dan Jones join Sally Helm to talk about The Uprising , the new film starring Andrew Garfield as a fictional plowman who becomes the face of England's Peasants' Revolt. They get into what life was actually like a generation after the Black Death, why the rebels burned every written record they could find, and how a disturbed 14-year-old king ended up as the last hope of the people marching on his city. Paul Greengrass is the writer and director of The Uprising , in theaters now. Dan Jones is the film's historical advisor and the author of Summer of Blood .
