Kick off summer 2017 with Womankind at our “Rise Above” premiere virtual reality viewing party!
“Rise Above” is a story about a teenage girl’s journey of empowerment as she confronts and overcomes her trauma after experiencing sexual violence. It is a story about healing, self-discovery, and the importance of friendship. This 6-minute film premiered during the Sundance Film Festival and was an official selection at SXSW this year.
Experience this story with your own individual VR headset and headphones, all made possible thanks to Oculus VR for Good.
Enjoy summer-inspired refreshments and learn more about Womankind’s work with sexual violence survivors. Meet Benjamin Ross and Brittany Neff of Co.Reality, the directors of “Rise Above,” who will be launching the film with Womankind.
