Growing out from improvisations, Rise, Again’s film and music feature an intimate repetition that layers the individual with community. Four mothers raise their four different children with fortitude and love when faced with eviction. A deep rhyming of experience inspired the form. Created collaboratively with women supported by Upward Bound House, the concept emerged from four completely unique experiences that resonated so deeply the collaborators felt they were listening to each other share their own stories.
