"An effective portrait of both the artistic process and family relationships. Highly recommended!" 
- ☆ ☆ ☆ ½ Video Librarian -

"Fascinating. Takes you into territories that you might not have visited before. Deeply moving." 
-Jennifer Merin - About.com 

"Raising Renee will touch many cords in viewers. It not only speaks to disabilities and care giving but also racism, poverty and the cultural generational shift in families today."

Genre: Documentary, Family, Race, Art, Gender Studies, African American Studies

Synopsis:
Emmy nominated RAISING RENEE is about artist Beverly McIver and the promise she made to her mother that she would take care of her older sister Renee, who is mentally disabled. The promise comes due just as Beverly's career is blasting off. Directed by Oscar nominees Jeanne Jordan and Steven Ascher, RAISING RENEE is intimate, humorous and candid. The film sees an act of caregiving – something that’s becoming central to a generation – through the eyes of a character unafraid to reveal the conflicted feelings that come with the job. Filmed over 6 years, RAISING RENEE is marked by drama and unexpected twists as it explores race, disability, the transformative power of art, and the tenacity of family bonds. RAISING RENEE is the third in a trilogy about resilient families that includes Ascher and Jordan’s acclaimed films SO MUCH SO FAST and Sundance Grand Jury Prize winner, TROUBLESOME CREEK.
