(GreenRoom) Country music star Dierks Bentley has released a moving video for his latest single, "Riser." The clip tells the true story of the struggles of a formerly homeless mother of two named Amy as she rebuilds her life. We were sent the followind details:

"I really wanted this video to reflect the 'risers' among us," said Bentley. "So, when it came to casting, it was important to me that the storyline follow something real - no acting.

"The first thing I thought when I met Amy was you would have never known that she had been living out of her car with two kids and nowhere to go. Hearing her story is such a solid example that there are people we pass all around us every day who are going through tough times. It's dedicated to all the 'Risers.'" Watch the new video here.

With the help of Nashville non-profit Safe Haven Family Shelter, Amy was able to receive critical education, support and guidance that helped her make a successful return into her own home. Amy shares her story in more depth in this behind-the-scenes footage from the video shoot. Watch that video here.
