## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

RiseUp is a documentary film released on February 13, 2011, with a runtime of one hour and twenty-eight minutes. The film explores Jamaica, the island that gave birth to the worldwide cultural phenomenon of reggae, where the genre is considered the voice of the people and an outlet for survival. In a society where talent abounds and opportunity is scarce, three distinct and courageous artists fight to rise up from obscurity and write themselves into the pages of history. The documentary follows these artists through the dangerous streets, back alleys, and crowded dance halls of Kingston and the countryside as they demonstrate the raw power of hope. The production features music and appearances by legends Lee Scratch Perry, Sly Dunbar, and Robbie Shakespeare, alongside a slew of soon-to-be superstars.
