A new “Experience Documentary” filmed nationwide.  Rise Above screens in a traveling “Immersion Theatre,” designed to educate the mind, and overwhelm the senses. 

The film tells the story of the Tuskegee Airmen; dipping into history to educate, and stunning aerial photography that inspires young and old alike.

Having debuted at AirVenture 2011 in Oshkosh, WI, Rise Above is unlike any other aviation experience on Earth.  The mobile educational theatre is a custom semi-tractor trailer that expands and transforms into a 48ft wide, 170 degree theatre.  For more information, contact the Red Tail Squadron.
