A national school dance and music competition is an unlikely symbol of salvation for three Ugandan children-Rose, Nancy and Dominic-survivors of Africa's longest ongoing conflict and the subjects of this immensely moving documentary. For more than 20 years, the Lord's Resistance Army, a rebel militia group, has been waging war in northern Uganda. Amidst the violence, the LRA has abducted thousands of children, stealing their childhood, forcing many to take up arms and commit unspeakable acts against their own people. War/Dance is a film of striking paradoxes in which the children's accounts of affliction are starkly contrasted with the joy and pride achieved in preparing for competition. Winner of the Documentary Directing Award at this year's Sundance, husband and wife filmmakers Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine expertly deliver a beautifully crafted and unforgettable story of hope.
