SUMMARY:ALL RISE documentary screening
DESCRIPTION:How can international disputes be resolved in the courtroom r
 ather than on the battlefield? ALL RISE brings this complex question int
 o sharp and personalized focus through the stories of seven passionate l
 aw students competing in the world’s largest moot court competition\, th
 e Philip C. Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition. Hailing fro
 m Israel\, Jamaica\, Palestine\, India\, Russia\, Singapore and Uganda\,
  these law students have advanced through national competitions from a f
 ield of more than 2\,000 students from nearly 90 countries to compete in
  the world championships in Washington\, DC. Their hard work is put to t
 he test\, as they are grilled by volunteer judges from around the world\
 , including sitting judges from the International Court of Justice\, and
  we see them overcome unimaginable pressure to persevere in one of acade
 mia’s most rigorous competitions. Now in its 58th year\, the Jessup is t
 he common ground for a growing number of world leaders\, high-ranking ju
 dges\, international lawyers and human rights advocates. Coming from cou
 ntries where governments may not be on speaking terms\, or worse yet be 
 at war\, students who participate in the Jessup view each other and the 
 world differently after sharing this life-changing experience.\n\nCreate
 d by Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning filmmakers from Cinema Cap
 ital\, ALL RISE lays bare the struggles\, triumphs and transformations t
 hese students experience throughout their journeys.\n\nALL RISE has been
  selected by DOC NYC\, the Manchester Film Festival\, where it received 
 a Jury Award\, and most recently by the United Nations Association Film 
 Festival in California. It has also been selected for the American Film 
 Showcase.\n
