War dance

Dominic, Rose, and Nancy are three children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed, their innocence lost, and who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo. These children attend a school where they can momentarily forget the brutal realities of their lives, as they participate in music, song and dance. When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival in their nation's capitol, their historic journey is also an opportunity to regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time.

  • "Trois enfants de treize et quatorze ans de la tribu Acholi, Rose, Nancy et Dominic, vivent dans un camp de réfugiés du nord de l'Ouganda pour les protéger des rebelles du Lord's Resistance Army qui luttent contre les forces gouvernementales depuis deux décennies. Lorsque l'école de leur camp a gagné le concours régional de musique, ils sont choisis pour participer à un concours national de musique, de chant choral et de danse traditionnelle dans la capitale Kampala. Le film les suit dans leur préparation de trois mois pour cet événement et recueille leurs réflexions sur les horreurs de la guerre dont ils ont été témoins, leurs espoirs et leurs peurs."
  • "WAR DANCE follows a group of Ugandan school children as they rehearse for the National Music Competition. But these are not typical subjects of a music documentary: ravaged by war and having witnessed numerous atrocities, the children dance to forget their pasts, to forget the slaughter, to forget their pain."

  • "A depiction of the transformative and uplifting potential of music and dance in the lives of children. Dominic, Rose, and Nancy are three children of the Acholi tribe, living in the war zone displacement camp in Patongo, Uganda. As war refugees, their families have been decimated, their homes lost, and they have been burdened with vivid memories of violence. However, the children are at least able to attend a camp school that offers them inspiration, as they participate in music, song and performance. When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival in their nation's capitol, an opportunity for which all 20,000 Ugandan schools compete, they are given the chance to regain hope and success in their lives."@en
