RISE: THE PROMISE OF MY BROTHER'S KEEPER explores the lives and families of boys and young men of color from across the country that participate in life changing intervention programs. The film highlights four programs that exemplify the principles of President Obama's My Brother's Keeper (MBK) initiative to improve the life outcomes of boys and young men of color and all youth. RISE: THE PROMISE OF MY BROTHER'S KEEPER will simulcast on Discovery Channel and OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network on Father's Day. The film also addresses President Obama's challenge to cities and towns to encourage coherent cradle-to-college-and-career strategies for improving the life outcomes of all young people, regardless of who they are, where they come from, or the circumstances into which they were born. RISE: THE PROMISE OF MY BROTHER'S KEEPER is directed by Dawn Porter, the filmmaker behind the acclaimed documentary Gideon's Army.
