Rise Up is a journey into the heart of Jamaica - the island that gave birth to the worldwide cultural phenomenon of Reggae. In a society where talent abounds and opportunity is scarce, three distinct and courageous artists fight to rise up from obscurity and write themselves into the pages of history. With music and appearances by legends Lee Scratch Perry, Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and a slew of soon-to-be superstars, Rise Up follows artists in the dangerous streets, back alleys and crowded dance halls of Kingston and the countryside. These artists demonstrate the raw power of hope and courage in a land which is largely unn, but certainly not unsung. Written by anonymous. Rise up features James Franco in the title role along with an ensemble cast including Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, Andy Serkis and Ice Anastacia. The movie is based on Premise suggested by Planet of the Apes by Pierre Boulle. The music was composed by Patrick Doyle.
