War Dance portrays members of the Acholi ethnic group forced to live in a northern Uganda refugee camp under military protection. In 2005, the camp’s primary school won the regional music competition and participated in the annual National Music Competition in Kampala. Focusing on 3 teenagers, the film follows them as they prepare for the event and reveals the anguish and strife they have experienced along with their hopes and dreams.
Prior to the film, we will show a brief video about African aid to victims of the 10-year “blood diamonds” war in Sierra Leone. Donations of clothing and shoes are requested and will be sent to war survivors. For more information, contact Ed Fallon at .
