Festival officials say they search for films that "showcase military experiences that are often overlooked on the big screen. Festival-goers won't see action-packed Hollywood blockbusters, but stories that highlight personal accomplishments, the transition home from war, post-traumatic stress, military homelessness, resilience, and healing invisible wounds that occur after service."
