<div>The Longest Yarn documentary film tells the story of the D-Day invasion, the Allied campaign to defeat Germany, and the tremendous cost of victory. It explores the long-term collateral damage suffered across Europe and by Allied forces, as well as the enduring bonds formed between Allied soldiers and the people who supported them. The film also honors World War II veterans and the family members who continued to serve their countries after them, while examining the complexities of these relationships and their lasting significance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At the heart of the film is The Longest Yarn Tapestry—a massive 80-meter (265-foot) traveling three-dimensional wool tapestry created by volunteers around the world to commemorate the 80th anniversary of D-Day. The documentary follows the tapestry’s extraordinary journey and exhibitions throughout Europe and the United States.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Longest Yarn documentary film, which chronicles this remarkable international journey, will be preserved for posterity as we honor this vital part of world history. Produced in five countries (the United States, France, England, Germany, and Belgium), the documentary is truly epic in scale. It will premiere at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia in mid-May 2026.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The documentary is being produced by American Veterans Media (AVM), a Philadelphia-based nonprofit organization. AVM’s work includes veteran-focused documentaries, television and radio programming, print and digital media, Library of Congress interviews, academic curricula, and live public events.

</div>
<div>The Longest Yarn Cape May (TLYCM) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded to honor those who participated in the liberation of France during World War II. Our mission is to raise and distribute funds to support the creation, transportation, promotion, protection, and exhibition of The Longest Yarn during its United States tour, and to subsidize the production and marketing costs of the documentary film.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The Longest Yarn tapestry measures 80 meters (265 feet) and represents both the 80 years since D-Day and the 80 days it took the Allies to liberate Paris. It features 80 unique sections based on the 1962 movie The Longest Day. It tells the powerful story of June 6—from the build-up and launch in England to the Normandy invasion. Created with guidance from historians to ensure historical accuracy, each scene was carefully selected to depict the story of this momentous day.
