The documentary depicts the ways that dance and creativity have assisted the veterans in their recoveries from PTSD, addiction and other wounds of military service, both visible and invisible.

According to a press release, the film “documents Black Box Dance Theatre’s work with veterans, giving them the courage to step into a creative process that fosters trust, healing and resilience.”

The films of “I Feel Myself to Be Part of Something” each explore the impact of the arts in five different communities across the United States. The first, “The Feeling of Home,” centered around a bipartisan music festival in White Sulphur Springs, Montana, while three forthcoming installments will follow an after-school arts program in Española, New Mexico, a muralist in Oakland, California and a theater company’s work in the South Side of Chicago.
