An inspirational film about friendship, what really matters in life, and the absurdity of racism.

The emotionally-charged story of two best friends graduating from college and searching for direction in life. One is enticed into a world of corruption by a charismatic black minister who uses his power to keep his own race down. The other struggles with personal demons of a different nature. Alone and together, the two friends learn to Rise Up... and to do what's right.—dan gurlitz
