Andrew Garfield and Paul Greengrass Discuss Faith in Film The Uprising

Actor Andrew Garfield, director Paul Greengrass, and actress Thomasin McKenzie have spoken about their new film, The Uprising, which examines the intersection of faith, social justice, and institutional power. The project explores how religious organizations can be influenced or corrupted by political and social pressures.

According to the creative team, the film aims to deconstruct what they describe as a bastardized version of Christianity. Despite these critical themes, the filmmakers stated that the narrative is intended to offer a message of hope and emphasize the importance of community support during times of significant social upheaval.
