War/Dance

For the past 20 years, northern Uganda has been at war with a rebel force, the Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A.), and the country's children have been the greatest victims of the conflict.

But amidst the grief and hardship, three students in the Patongo refugee camp, all victims of terrible violence and losses, nevertheless prepare to enter a music competition that offers them a lifeline of hope.

For Nancy, Rose, and Dominic, a former child soldier, the contest provides a welcome respite from the desperate circumstances of their daily lives.
