All Rise 2015

Directed by Jay Shapiro

The United Nations' International Court of Justice resolves international disputes through dialogue rather than warfare. Modeled on the ICJ, the Jessup is a prestigious simulated court competition that offers a sneak peek at the international leaders of the future. All Rise profiles seven passionate international law students, representing Jamaica, India, Palestine, Russia, Israel, Uganda and Singapore, as they overcome personal challenges and put idealism into practice to face the challenge of the rigorous competition at the dramatic world championships.
