Rise: Story Of Rave Outlaw Disco Donnie

Documentary featuring the rise of rave promoter Disco Donnie at the height of Mardi Gras in New Orleans.
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. Featuring a host of renowned DJs (including Josh Wink, Tommie Sunshine, Adam Freeland, Qbert, John Aquaviva, Nigel Richards, Paul van Dyk, Charles Feelgood and Dylan Drazen), 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.
