The Black Death has taken half the population, a boy king is tormented by dreams of demons, and the council decides the peasants will pay. Paul Greengrass's The Uprising is bathed in religious language amidst a culture of rage, and everyone in it believes God is on their side.

In the first episode of The Good, The True, and The Cinema, Joshua Johnson, John Dougherty, and Craig Detweiler review Greengrass's deliberately ugly film about the Peasants' Revolt: Andrew Garfield's Ploughman, Jamie Bell's John Ball, and a film that can't decide what it believes about violence. Then each host brings a double feature in conversation with it, and they close with their favorite films of the summer.

When the powerful promise a miracle, where should the rest of us place our faith?
