Rise Up

About This Movie

So, 'Rise Up' is this documentary that digs deep into the heart of Detroit. It's raw and unfiltered, showcasing the grit of a few passionate individuals who are trying to spark change in a city that's been through the wringer. The pacing has this real ebb and flow—sometimes it feels like a slow burn, but then it hits you with these powerful moments of community resilience. The practical effects are more about real life than anything flashy; there's no overproduced drama, just authentic stories from people who really care. The performances, if you can call them that, are sincere, you can feel the love and pain tied up in their efforts. It's distinctive in how it captures a city’s spirit without glossing over the struggles.
