'THIS IS ME' - AWARD-WINNING SHORT FILM

THIS IS ME - Letters from the Front Lines is a new dance film by DIAVOLO that captures the resilience, determination, and hope of the human spirit. It follows the paths of military veterans and first responders as they share what it means to be true warriors on the front lines – and fight the invisible enemy that all humanity is currently battling. At a time when most have been asked to halt and withdraw, others are charging forward.
