Rising Phoenix Film — Our Story
Our Story

Since 2010, we have produced television, live broadcasts, and commercials on both sides of the Atlantic. At our core is non-fiction: documentaries and short films on human rights and freedom of speech, seen internationally.

Selected Works

Documentary Features

Gender Transformation

Through live interviews and re-enactments, the film portrays the real-life stories of former transgender youth who began the transitioning process. Experts reveal the rarely reported medical and psychological effects of puberty blockers, hormone therapies, and surgeries.

Winner of nine awards, including Best POV Documentary at the 2023 Manhattan Film Festival

China's Stealth Invasion

An investigative documentary examining the Chinese Communist Party's growing influence in the United States. Through interviews with national security experts, investigative journalists, and Chinese insiders who rarely speak to Western media, the film traces how influence operations, economic leverage, technology dependence, and information warfare may be reshaping America from within.

As the lines between war and peace blur, one question remains: are we witnessing a new kind of conflict, fought not with bombs but with influence?

Divine Messengers

One person is sometimes all it takes to change the course of history. This series tells the stories of history's divine messengers: figures whose faith, courage, and sacrifice built the pillars we still stand on.

Yet today, their insights can seem like no more than black ink on white paper. With the guidance of historians and scholars, we read them again, and find visions that forever changed the world.

Slow Living

Pure Life

A sensory journey through the Swedish landscape, guided by "back to nature" influencer Kajsa Silow. Through quiet woodlands, up mountaintops, and into the still water of a forest lake, she meets people perfecting crafts handed down through generations. An invitation to slow down, breathe, and remember what calm feels like.

Winner of three awards, including Best Short Film at the LA Documentary Film Festival 2023.
