Run To Rise is an intimate, raw, and hopeful documentary about survival, courage, and the slow work of rebuilding a life. Told in his own words, Ledion Dancja opens up about growing up in an abusive household. The silence, the fear, and the long-lasting scars that don’t always show. As he finally finds the strength to speak out, he also sets himself an almost impossible challenge: to train for and run a marathon in just one month.

The camera follows Ledion through early-morning runs, emotional setbacks, breakthroughs, and honest conversations about trauma, resilience, and what it means to reclaim your story. His journey is powered by purpose, every mile dedicated to raising awareness and funds for Jigsaw4U, a charity that supports children, young people, and families affected by abuse, loss, and trauma.

At its heart, Run To Rise is about choosing hope. It shows that healing isn’t linear, bravery doesn’t always look heroic, and even the hardest pasts can become a force for change. We hope this documentary helps raise awareness about this topic and pushes people to seek help, push themselves, and overcome their hardships.
