While growing up within a loving African American family, a
little boy develops a deep understanding of right and wrong and the
responsibility that accompanies his choices. Some forty years
later, Rohillio Jabel recognizes that it is only through God's
grace and mercy that he has been successful in life. Buoyed by his
ideals, innovative ideas, and commitment to helping those less
fortunate than himself, Rohillio begins to rise in his south New
Jersey community.
Rohillio, now known as "the Citizen," is disenchanted about the
biases that plague the American justice system and tired of
belonging to a powerless race. Determined to change the black
experience for the better, Rohillio recruits eight people-including
ministers, a college professor, a teacher, a banker, a beautician,
and drug dealers-to help him in his mission to start a new
political movement that he hopes will transform their town. But as
the eclectic group attempts to fulfill Rohillio's mission, it soon
becomes evident that their road to success will be lined with many
more challenges than they ever imagined.
"The Citizen Rising" shares the tale of one man's journey to
change the mind-set of a city with the help of a group of black
citizens determined to help him realize his dream.
