We Lift Each Other explores the ways in which art can offer much more than entertainment. Under the guidance of founder Michelle Pearson, the dancers of Black Box Dance Theatre travel across North Carolina, employing modern dance as a means of building community and fostering resilience. Working primarily with active-duty military, veterans, and their families, Black Box Dance Theatre harnesses the simple but transformative power of movement, creating a space for expression and healing. We Lift Each Other follows the company through a week-long residency with a group of veterans, including Brothers & Sisters Like These, from Asheville, NC, culminating in an emotional public performance.

A Q&A will follow the screening with subjects of the film.
