WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING
“This is a very effective and poignant film and is certainly worth a watch! It’s engaging, it’s honest, it’s raw, it’s authentic.”
“Director Maureen Castle Tusty wants to celebrate these women, something that we really don’t see enough of elsewhere.”
“Inspiring on every level…This documentary not only highlights the work that still needs to be done globally for women's rights and poverty but also encourages us to look at our own societal impact.”
“An empowering, inspiring, exceedingly necessary documentary.”
“Documentaries intended to be inspirational—as this one clearly is—too often sloppily romanticize the lives of entrepreneurs in impoverished places or force their subjects into cookie-cutter storytelling templates. She Rises Up does neither...the result yanks the heartstrings without being sappy.”
“…an eye-opening, moving and empowering documentary about women from different countries who start a business to help their communities escape poverty.”
