Directors: Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Set in Northern Uganda, a country ravaged by more than two decades of civil war, War/Dance tells the story of Dominic, Rose, and Nancy, three children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed, and who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo. |
When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival, their historic journey to their nation’s capital is also an opportunity to regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time in their lives. Amidst unimaginable violence and grief, these children sing and dance: they sing with vitality; they sing without fear. Devastated by the horrors of war, they carry the hopes and dreams of their entire village with them. War/Dance is Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine's directorial debut. The husband and wife team have filmed stories in more than 30 countries and met while directing films for National Geographic; they formed Fine Films in 2003. USA, 105 minutes, 2007, DigiBeta
