RiseUp screens at the Jacob Burns Film Center
RiseUp in the words of The Jacob Burns Film Center: An eye-opening look at Turbulence, Ice Anastasia, and a beautiful, unbelievably gifted girl named Kemoy, three very different up-and-coming musicians from three distinct areas of Jamaica: the downtown Kingston slums, an opulent uptown mansion, and the countryside. With talent to spare, the artists need luck, hard work, and courage to succeed in this competitive, music-obsessed country.
