TECHNOLOGY AND FILM HAVE NEVER BEEN SUCH POWERFUL EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING TOOLS.

A COMPELLING STORY IS ABLE TO IGNITE A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE.

WORLD CONNECTIONS FOUNDATION’S DOCUMENTARY FILM, “AS I RISE”, CAPTURES BOTH.

[/ultimate_heading][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1536474388980{background-color: #ffffff !important;}”]

“As I Rise”, is a true, life-changing story of courage and discovery. It is the journey of three young girls raised to believe in nothing but limitations, and their extraordinary rise to empowerment, galvanizing change in their lives and communities.

This is a documentary film where courage, compassion, collaboration, and authenticity not only come alive in the story, but soar on screen. Capturing the essence of contemporary female role models; young and old, famous and unknown, ethnically and financially diverse, the film honors real-life heroines, and exemplifies the powers of feminine attributes.
