Family-focused films paint the pictures of a brighter future for seven generations.
Ever since the beginning of our humble history as a video studio, Arise focuses on stories that uplift, inspire, train, and entertain. Here are three such documentary film selections, each presenting the rainbow warriors of a new dawn. That's our funny way of saying “outside-the-box thinkers.” These films are labors of love, freely given, for the gratitude of our brilliant and beautiful world.
Each of these trailblazing documentary film selections presents a specific angle of the rainbow warriors of a new dawn. That's our funny way of saying “outside-the-box thinkers.”
All walks of life can benefit from the examples of our elders, those wise ones, learning their way of living.
Voices of the Grandmothers is a full-length documentary feature film starring Grandmother Flordemayo. She is the Mayan elder and world-renowned spokesperson who created The Gathering For Humanity, drawing international council members, executive directors, Grammy-winning singer-songwriters… rallying their voices in an effort to plants seeds for the future.
Although some may think of the elders’ way as simple, old-fashioned, or outdated, their perspectives are advantageous to us because only the elders have the first-hand experiences to compare between the former way with the latter way.
The grandmothers are speaking are we listening?
In Lakota, “Mni Wiconi” means “Water Is Life.” This is the rallying cry of the Standing Rock Movement.
Standing in Solidarity with the Standing Rock Sioux is our studio's response to the call for photojournalists in support of the Standing Rock Movement. This historic event reached its crescendo around November, 2016, when thousands of water protectors rallied for 200+ indigenous tribes. Together, the people who stand with Standing Rock represent a great healing of the First Nations, leading to a unification of all tribes—red, yellow, black, and white.
This event continues to call people to protect the world’s waters. The movement continues to be a peaceful and prayerful form of activism, all about the protection of water itself, and the sanctification of water as sacred, essential, life-giving element. Family members of all ages and ethnicities share responsibility for water protection, just as they share their fires, songs, and prayers.
In Lakota, “Mni Wiconi” means “Water Is Life.”
Eight-months pregnant with their third child, the parents of preschoolers trail blaze across the U.S.A., cameras firing. They record the stories of 40 wild families, exploring new ways to raise kids. Through outdoor adventures and in-depth interviews, their findings reveal a wide range of family dynamics.
Wild Family is our first full-length documentary feature film. Topics include natural wellbeing, community connection, and inner knowing. This film’s passion led to a spin-off video series called Wild Family TV, with 20 fun 20-minute episodes available to view.
