Rise and Fall

About This Movie

So, 'Rise and Fall' is this documentary that digs deep into the coastal area of Tompe, which faced a brutal flood in 2018. The film captures this poignant dialogue between Sarifa, just a kid at 10, and her grandfather who's seen a lot at 70. The way they connect is so raw, so genuine. You really feel the weight of history here, especially when Sarifa learns about the Mapaga Tsunami in '68. It's not just a retelling; it’s a personal discovery. The pacing is deliberate, letting the emotions unfold without rushing. The atmosphere is thick with nostalgia and loss, and while it’s straightforward, it really pulls you in. The performances feel honest and grounded, adding layers to a story that could easily slip into mere statistics.
