Watch You Rise

WATCH YOU RISE is a believing-into-being documentary and impact campaign that grows up alongside director Isabella Grace Cohn as she works to understand and expose the roots of sexual harm — her peers’, her mother’s, and eventually her own. Along the way, she meets diverse survivors, perpetrators, and experts. Together they explore the cultural, educational, and legal gray areas that fuel the cycles of harm in a quest for hope and transformation.  With raw vulnerability and multifaceted perspectives, Watch You Rise envisions a future where youth voices lead the way in reshaping how we approach sexual education, justice, and healing, creating a culture of accountability and care. Ultimately, this film is more than a documentary—it’s a movement, creating space for youth-led change and urging action from individuals, educators, policymakers, and communities to address sexual harm and violence in a survivor-centered, transformative, restorative way.
