About the Project
War Dance is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of three children from the Patongo displacement camp in northern Uganda:Dominic, a former abductee and child soldier of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA);
Rose, who witnessed the gruesome murder of her parents by the rebels; and
Nancy, who kept herself and two younger siblings alive in the bush for a month after the LRA killed their father and abducted their mother.
Dominic, Rose and Nancy are all members of the first school music group from the northern Uganda war zone to make it to the final round of Uganda’s national music competition. The documentary chronicles their journey through the competition.
