Rise Above: The Carl Jackson Story 2024

Directed by Maryilene Blondell · Documentary · 53 min

Rise Above is the riveting and potent story of an uneducated, poor, young Black boy who grew up in the slums of Augusta, Georgia — not far from the rolling greens, dramatic slopes and azaleas at Augusta National Golf Club. Defying the odds, Carl Jackson rose out of poverty to become golf’s greatest caddie.
