Andrew Garfield stars in the upcoming film "The Uprising," a historical drama set in 1381 England. The movie focuses on the Peasants' Revolt, a significant popular uprising against King Richard II.
Garfield characterized the period as a "grim time to be a British peasant." He noted the film's depiction of an "ordinary man" leading a rebellion against oppressive conditions, stating, "None of us should have to live like this anymore."
The film's narrative highlights the struggles of the lower classes during a time of widespread hardship, including the plague that was afflicting England. "The Uprising" aims to bring a historical event to life through its portrayal of extraordinary struggles faced by common people.
