The Rise Up Movement [Coming To Jozi] is a documentary-film production which focuses on multi-disciplined artists/creatives from Durban in South Africa who have made the ultimate decision to leave their places of origin to pursue their talents and art in Johannesburg. Often perceived as Africa’s Arts, culture and entertainment hub; Jozi [Johannesburg] as it’s famously known to most people is a p
lace where dreams come true. The film will follow very closely the journeys of four dynamic creatives, as they navigate the streets of Johannesburg in pursuit of their dreams. Their worlds are interlinked as they come from similar backgrounds and have crossed paths before coming to Jozi. The film sees these four determined creatives navigating their way in the wild and unforgiving streets of Jozi. They meet to collaborate on a few activations, events and projects which they intend to launch themselves into the glitz and glam of Jozi. They encounter challenges, share their experiences and meet other artists with similar experiences. It explores themes of spirituality, depression, talent, alcohol and drug addiction, chasing one's aspirations and dreams, to name but a few.
