According to The South African, Rachel Kolisi confirmed the sold-out status of her husband’s documentary, Rise: The Siya Kolisi Story at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival in Manhattan, New York.
According to SuperSport, Springboks captain Siya Kolisi provides insight into the purpose of his documentary.
“I wanted to showcase South Africa because it’s such a beautiful country, but I also wanted to authentically show viewers what the township looks like and how more people need to come and invest in these areas.
“For me, some of my best memories are from the township, and it’s the people in my community who motivate me every day.
“I now have the platform to hopefully be able to change the stories of those kids growing up in similar circumstances, but at the same time the biggest thing for me is to change the mindset while they’re still living in tough conditions,” said Kolisi.
In the documentary, Siya Kolisi also shares the story of his complicated relationship with his father, his struggle with alcoholism and his journey with wife Rachel.
