Full Synopsis:
We are living in a civilizational moment—a rare point in history when the trajectory of an entire culture hangs in the balance. Truth Rising explores this moment with urgency and clarity, revealing how the West, drifting away from the foundational truths of Scripture, now faces spiritual, moral, and cultural crisis. As belief in God is cut off and the substitute god of individualism fails to satisfy, the film invites viewers to confront the consequences of a culture that no longer knows what truth is—or where to find it.
Through personal stories and expert insights, Truth Rising features individuals who have courageously chosen conviction over compromise. From Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s fight for human rights in the face of threats, to Chloe Cole’s bold stand against gender ideology, to Winston Marshall’s exit from celebrity culture, and more—these stories illuminate the cost and reward of standing firm in truth. But this isn’t just their story—it’s yours. Truth Rising calls every follower of Christ to reject passivity and instead rise with purpose, clarity, and courage. This is a film about choosing faith over fear, embracing your God-given role in this moment, and becoming a catalyst for renewal—right where you are.
