The acclaimed new documentary from directors Jon Siskel (nephew of Gene) and Greg Jacobs, “The Road Up,” will begin its premiere theatrical run at Chicago’s Gene Siskel Film Center, 164 N. State St., tonight, October 8th at 6pm CT. The film follows four participants in Cara, a Chicago job-training program, as they search for stable employment and a pathway out of poverty. Throughout, they are guided, goaded, and challenged by their impassioned mentor, Mr. Jesse, whose own complicated past compels him to help others find hope in the face of addiction, homelessness, and the aftereffects of incarceration.
