Watch You Rise

The Impact Campaign
WATCH YOU RISE is a youth-led social impact campaign from the creators of the documentary WATCH YOU RISE to spark real talk about sex, power, and harm. Through youth leadership training, peer-led discussions, organized civic action, and online community- building, the campaign will empower young people and their communities to acknowledge how sexual harm happens, not just in the headlines, but right here: In our friend groups, families, sports teams, arts programs, religious communities, and beyond.

Official partners of the campaign include RAINN, the largest anti-sexual assault organization in the U.S., and YWCA USA, an organization dedicated to eliminating racism and empowering women with 179 local chapters nationwide.

From every angle, we are uncovering the roots of sexual harm and fueling a movement that empowers young people with the resources to prevent, identify, and end cycles of harm.


The Documentary
As a young filmmaker comes of age, she unearths stories of sexual assault experienced by her mother, her peer group, and eventually herself. Along the way, she meets survivors, perpetrators, and experts. Together, they explore the gray areas of sex, power, and consent, seeking to break cycles of harm and uncover radical possibilities for healing.

The film is produced by Elizabeth Woodward at the Oscar-, Emmy-, and Social Impact Media Award-nominated company WILLA, and executive produced by Dr. Annie Farmer (Survivor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell), actor/activist Indya Moore (Ryan Murphy's POSE), Judith Helfand (Oscar-nominated CUTTING THROUGH ROCKS), and Mary Recine (JOAN DIDION: THE CENTER MUST HOLD).

The film will serve as a key educational tool throughout the campaign.
