“RISING,” a documentary film about recovery efforts following historic Eastern Kentucky flooding in 2022, will be shown at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, at the Alhambra Theatre.
A promotional website states, “From devastation to hope, this story chronicles how an idea became a reality as state, federal, and local partners work to build survivors new homes on abandoned coal mine sites — out of the floodplains and protected from future floods. ‘RISING’ shows the world what is possible and proves that, by working together, we can rise above any challenge.”
The documentary produced with support from the Kentucky Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet and the Cabinet for Economic Development is being shown in communities across the state in February.
Tickets, available online, are $8 for adults and $5 for children 12 and under. Proceeds will go to the Kentucky Emergency Relief Fund that benefits residents affected by disasters such as flooding and tornadoes.
