“…a profoundly moving cinematic work of art…” -SUNDANCE FILM NOTES

Culminating into a hope-filled MAD HOT BALLROOM-style challenge, WAR/DANCE chronicles the courageous and compelling lives of a group of children from the Patongo displacement camp in northern Uganda. Shifting between the preparation for a national music competition and the haunting devastation of life in a war-torn country, WAR/DANCE is an inspirational revelation honoring the resilience of the human spirit. There’s a calm serenity as the camera pans across these haunting faces in their attempt to heal, and directors Andrea and Sean Fine’s powerful cinematography tells the stories no words can possibly capture. Against all odds, these amazing children, who seek simplicity, peace and solace through music, shine despite the limitations of their own darkness, and their astonishing and moving stories will leave an indelible mark on your soul.
