Rise Review: An Emotional & Charming Tale About The Rise Of NBA Legends
The immigrant experience has always had a place in cinema. There are countless stories of famous individuals who have reached incredible success while having started from nothing. Often, these tales highlight how this person is unique and how their trajectory in life seems to have come from an innate talent or gift that exists despite their troubles. However, there are times when a film like Risewill come along and offer an unflinching reality check on how some of the world's most renowned people came to be where they are today.
