War/Dance
Series: New Directors/New Films [March 21 - April 1 2007]
Director: Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine, Country: USA, Release: 2007, Runtime: 105

In Northern Uganda, the Lord’s Resistance Army, a rebel group that abducts children and turns them into mindless soldiers, has killed Rose’s parents, Nancy’s father, and made Dominic into an assassin. All three children now live in Patongo, a large refugee camp where they attend a one-room school and practice for the annual National Music Competition held in Kampala, where schools from across the country vie for awards. Husband-and-wife documentary team Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine let the children tell their stories of horror, record their rehearsals, and follow them on their first trip to Kampala, where the three show with pride, joy and exuberance what talent and heart can achieve.

Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine have filmed together in more than 30 countries. War/Dance, their first feature film project, won a Directing Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
