“Rising Above Helene” is a documentary about the strength of people and community. Through heartfelt interviews, sweeping visuals, and on-the-ground storytelling, the film captures the quiet determination of neighbors who came together to rebuild what was broken. Across the counties of Western North Carolina, we see the resilience that defines these mountain communities.
“Local governments played a key role in the recovery, helping to coordinate emergency response and support long-term rebuilding,” said Sandhills 10 in a press release. “Their efforts, alongside those of countless volunteers and community members, helped lay the foundation for renewal and hope.”
