Download 'Can you not hear their rage?': Film-maker Paul Greengrass

The British director reflects today's political and social mood in his new film, The Uprising, about the Peasants' Revolt of 1381.

Paul Greengrass tells Nick how the rage that led to the revolt in medieval England is similar to what he sees in society and politics today.

He charts his journey from growing up in Gravesend, through documentary making for World in Action, to Hollywood stardom with the Jason Bourne films
