War Dance

www.shineglobal.org

I just watched this movie-- or rather tried to through tears-- upon the recommendation of some of my friends who live and work in Uganda.

It is the story of a group of children from the Acholi tribe in Northern Uganda who travel to Kampala, the capitol of Uganda, to compete the National Dance Competition. These children have all grown up in the 20-year war zone in the northern part of the country and live in a displaced persons camp of over 50,000 people.

Their story and their hope is incredible.
