A quiet moment to say thank you

December, 2025

As the holiday season gently arrives, we find ourselves reflecting—not just on a year gone by, but on the people who made it meaningful.

You.

Your support, encouragement, and belief in Rising Wings have meant more to us than words can fully express. Every message, every share, every conversation, every moment of trust—you’ve been with us on this journey, and we are deeply grateful.

Because of you, Rising Wings has traveled far and wide. Since beginning our film festival journey in 2024, the film has received 36 awards including Grand Prize for Best TV Documentary at the Culver City Film Festival in Los Angeles and 11 finalist selections across the U.S. and around the world as of December 2025. These honors are not just milestones—they are a reflection of a community that believed in a story worth telling.

Now, we’re preparing for the next chapter: bringing Rising Wings to an even wider audience through upcoming U.S. broadcast and global streaming distribution. More details will be shared soon—and we can’t wait to take that next step together.

From all of us at TripsOfDiscovery.com and American Story Channel, we wish you and your loved ones a warm, peaceful, and joyful holiday season. May the days ahead be filled with gratitude, connection, and hope—and may we celebrate the arrival of 2026 together.

With heartfelt thanks,
