RISE The Story of Rave Outlaw Disco Donnie
RISE is the story of legendary rave promoter Disco Donnie and the many complex and colorful characters that surround him. Set in the heart of New Orleans at the height of Mardi Gras, this fast-paced, stream-of-consciousness documentary follows Donnie and his mischievous entourage as they barrel through the madness of America's biggest party and prepare for their own night of electronic enlightenment.
"...one of the top 10 movies you must see this year" - Paul Oakenfold
All Disco Donnie wanted to do was throw some wild parties. Then he threw New Orleans into the center of a national debate over music, drugs, the First Amendment and pacifiers. He was the first person to be charged with the Crack House legislation!
Featuring a host of internationally renowned DJs, RISE is a raw, upbeat and insightful profile of an underground community and a passionate reminder of why we need to fight for our freedom of expression - as well as our right to dance.
