Rise

Leo stares at the cracked concrete of his childhood basketball court, the same spot where his father's dreams evaporated twenty years earlier. Now a college scout's unexpected visit forces him to choose between a guaranteed scholarship and the underground streetball circuit that feeds his family. Jessica J. Rowlands' 2025 drama examines the brutal economics of hope in a system rigged against second chances, where every shot carries the weight of generational debt.
