ABOUT WE RISE UP
This culture-shifting film and movement seeks to rewrite the model of success, empowering individuals to solve the planet’s greatest challenges. We Rise UP the Movie & Movement brings together some of the most brilliant, accomplished and high-impact leaders of our day to redefine a new model of success and to uplift and empower people to live radically fulfilled purpose-driven lives. With the world in the midst of a tremendous period of transition, our current success models aren’t adequate to support the future that is quickly emerging. WeRiseUP The Movie articulates a new model of success in the world. “The film is designed to significantly impact the definition of success and social responsibility, and to generate new discourses that incite personal, cultural, and global change,” says Michael Shaun Conaway, Director of WeRiseUP the Movie.
