Dubai is a city like no other, a future facing metropolis rising from the desert that has become the world’s premier luxury travel destination.
‘I Rise’ is Matt Hopkins' director's cut from a series of TVCs for Visit Dubai and BBC Storyworks/The Smalls. The film mirrors the ever-rising cityscape with the personal journeys of self-discovery enjoyed by the protagonists who call the city home.
