Veterans Day Documentary Screening with Black Box Dance Theatre

In observance of Veterans Day, NC State LIVE and the NC State University Libraries invite members of the campus community and the public to a free screening of We Lift Each Other. The screening will take place Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at Witherspoon Student Center, 2810 Cates Avenue, Raleigh, North Carolina. It's free to attend, but please register on Eventbrite. Members of the NC State community, and the public, are invited. The documentary follows Black Box Dance Theatre and a group of veterans over the course of one remarkable week: from their first meeting to their courageous participation in a fully produced public performance of original choreography. In that short time, they move from uncertainty to trust, from isolation to connection, and ultimately into the creation of powerful art that reflects their lived experiences. The film is part of a documentary anthology series, I Feel Myself to Be Part of Something, produced by Tony Award-winning Broadway producer Mara Isaacs (Hadestown). For this event, NC State LIVE will be partnering with the Libraries, who will be on-site with an interactive pop-up featuring related media, literature and more.
