"The Falling and The Rising" features a series of interviews with wounded warriors, active duty service members, and veterans.

"The aspiration behind the project is to bridge the civilian-military divide," Ben Hilgert, a master sergeant at Fort Meade, Md., told 2 On Your Side. "And so we took our civilian artist team and we introduced them to soldiers, and we sort of explored concepts and themes of service, sacrifice, family. What does a soldier want a civilian to know about their service?"

This show is free and is scheduled for 8 p.m. Saturday and 4 p.m. Sunday.
