Film Screenings at West Point
Two documentaries, both filmmakers in the room, on the evening of Sunday, December 13, 2026 at Eisenhower Hall. Free to attend — but West Point is an active installation, so everyone coming must be registered in advance.

Registration is free and takes a minute. It covers the screenings and the conversations with the filmmakers — it is not a summit pass, and there is nothing to pay at any point.
Register for the screeningsTwo films, two filmmakers.
Both directors are in the theatre for the screenings and stay for the conversation afterwards.
D-Day+80
D-Day+80 is a documentary chronicling the 80th anniversary of the D-Day invasion. We speak to some of the last remaining vets about their memories of the war and their view of America today.
Nate Boyer is a former active-duty Green Beret, a philanthropist and community leader, and a former member of the Seattle Seahawks. He served tours in Iraq and Afghanistan with 3rd, 10th, and 1st Special Forces Groups.
Noori
Embark on a compelling road trip with two Afghan soldiers as they connect with U.S. SOF veterans and everyday Americans. As they exchange stories, they discover unexpected common ground — finding connection and bridging cultural divides through their shared struggles, resilience, and aspirations.
Lyla Kohistany is a U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and documentary filmmaker. She served as a Surface Warfare officer and as an Intelligence Officer in Afghanistan, later consulting for the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, and U.S. Special Operations Command.

Closing conversation with the filmmaker and a look ahead to Monday.
You must be registered by November 30.
West Point is an active military installation. Everyone entering has to be on a visitor-pass list that is submitted in advance, which is why registration closes two weeks out and why there are no walk-ons on the night. If you are not registered by Monday, November 30, 2026, we cannot get you through the gate.
- Register by November 30, 2026 — the visitor-pass list closes that day and cannot be added to afterwards.
- Bring government-issued photo ID for every adult in your party.
- Allow extra time at the security checkpoint; arrive well before the first film.
- The free ticket covers the screenings and Q&As only — not the summit sessions on Monday and Tuesday, and not the sponsor reception.

Want to attend the Veteran Ready Summit as well?
The screenings open a three-day summit for employers — December 13–15, 2026 at West Point, with two full days of sessions for organizations building veteran hiring and apprenticeship programs. That is a separate, paid registration, and a summit pass already includes these screenings.
Only here for the films? The free screening ticket above is all you need — nothing else to book.
