WATCH YOU RISE Screenings & Talking Circles
The Film Talks First. You Carry It.
WARNING:
WATCH YOU RISE explores sexual harm, consent, power, and change through a kaleidoscope of youth experiences. Some of these stories may be difficult, particularly for those who have experienced harm themselves. These are subjects that have no easy answers. But this is a place to begin.

Logline: As a young filmmaker comes of age, she unearths stories of sexual assault experienced by her mother, her peer group, and eventually herself. Along the way, she meets survivors, perpetrators, and experts. Together, they explore the gray areas of sex, power, and consent: seeking to break cycles of harm and uncover radical possibilities for healing.
