Falling Up: The Heather Friesen Story is the powerful true account of a professional volleyball player whose life took a near-fatal turn after a 50-foot fall while hiking. Once on the path to Olympic success, Heather was left with life-threatening injuries and an uncertain future.
But instead of being defined by the fall, Heather experienced something far greater... an overwhelming encounter with the presence of God. What should have ended her story drew her closer to Him than she ever thought possible.
This documentary reveals the unmistakable providence of God, not only in saving Heather’s life, but in guiding every step of her recovery, career, and calling. It’s a testament to the power of faith, and to a woman who fully trusts in God’s provision, His direction, and His unshakable love.
Falling Up is a story of surrender and strength, a journey not just back to the game, but deeper into the arms of the One who never let go.
