War Dance (2006): A film leaves you nothing but tears

The film is about the Northern Uganda children who lost their families, and now live in the refugee camp called Patongo with suffer and scars. Their stories were presented from their perspective in their own words. With the horrific experience, they are putting the horrific experience behind their backs and participating dance and music at the refugee camp school. They were invited to the prestige national music festival competition. They feel of pride and accomplishment when they perform their tribe folk dance and music. One of the young boy said, “Even though we are the children of war, we can make something great.” – What a great young man!

The cinematography and editing was amazing. The music, the real life stories from the children, the singing, the dancing, the captured rebel young soldier’s conversation with one of the young boy ... it is the kind of documentary that leave you in tears but feel a glimmer of hope.

Wrenching stories with happy ending. Highly recommended.
