When I Rise featured by Texas Independent Film Network’s Spring 2013 program
“I cannot thank you enough for “When I Rise.” It is very effective in Texas history courses, at least the way I teach Texas history.” — Professor Philip Smith (History Faculty, A&M)
Austin, TX – The Texas Independent Film Network (TIFN) and The Austin Film Society (AFS) have chosen the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History’s award-winning documentary film, When I Rise, for the first film in the TIFN’s Spring 2013 program.
