The Falling Forward Documentary
An intimate and deeply personal film following Rachel Kolisi through the defining seasons of her life — identity, loss, healing, motherhood, courage, faith, and rediscovery.
With honesty and vulnerability, Rachel reflects on the moments that have shaped her, the lessons learned along the way, and the resilience required to keep moving forward when life doesn't unfold as planned.
Live In Conversation with Rachel Kolisi.
Following the screening, Rachel takes to the stage for a candid fireside conversation, unpacking the themes of the documentary and sharing insights on resilience, purpose, faith, and moving forward.
At its heart, Falling Forward is a story about becoming. It is an invitation for women to reflect on their own journeys, celebrate how far they have come, and be reminded that some of life's greatest growth happens in the seasons we never would have chosen.
Whether you are navigating change, rebuilding after disappointment, chasing a dream, or simply looking for an evening that fills your cup, Falling Forward is an experience not to be missed.
