We Still Rise

WE STILL RISE, tells the story of the ordinary women from around the world, who in the face of concerning political change, each felt compelled to break from their every day lives and do something. Although they didn’t know each other, over a two month period their actions resulted in the global Women’s March on 21st January that mobilised over 5 million people to take to the streets. This film will tell the stories of the women, both organisers and regular marches, as they share their memories of the day in their own words. We tell the story of the team behind the London March, amongst others, whose minuscule budget of just managed to rally over a hundred thousand people, in the middle of winter, to march on the capital. We speak to two women in Geneva who drew up the security plan for ALL of the global marches. From Lotte in Sweden who was the sole organiser of the Stockholm March, to Breanne who went from Michelin starred chef to professional activist who now speaks at the UN on Women’s Issues. These and many more tell their story, and in turn demonstrate how they started a Movement.
