Three children who have suffered horrific brutalities momentarily forget their struggles as they participate in music, song and dance at their school. Invited to compete in a prestigious music festival in their nation’s capitol, their historic journey is a stirring tale about the power of the human spirit to triumph against tremendous odds. .com The superb documentary War/Dance reveals the redemptive power of music, even in the most horrific places. Focusing on three children in their early teens in war-torn Uganda--stoic Nancy, driven Dominic, and soft-spoken Rose--War/Dance tracks the efforts of the school of a refugee camp called Patongo to compete in Uganda's countrywide music competition. The contrasts are staggering; in interviews, the children describe their parents being killed by rebel soldiers, then footage of rehearsal shows them joyfully singing and dancing with their classmates. Some of the sequences are harrowing (a scene where Nancy grieves for her murdered father is painful to watch), but without them, we wouldn't understand how hard-won are the feelings of pride and accomplishment as their school performs for the competition's judges. The built-in structure of the competition gives this documentary a clear and engrossing storyline, much like Spellbound or Mad Hot Ballroom, but the heartbreaking circumstances and the emotional openness of the three teenagers makes War/Dance even more compelling. In one particularly striking scene, Dominic talks to a captured rebel officer, hoping to learn if his brother is still alive. As they talk, the soldier--who's around the age Dominic's brother might be--tries to be helpful, and explains almost offhandedly why the brother is most likely dead. The casualness of this conversation, devoid of Hollywood histrionics, speaks volumes about how violence has infiltrated these people's daily lives. --Bret Fetzer ## Product Details - **Genre:** Military & War - **Format:** Color, DVD, Dolby, Full Screen, Subtitled, Widescreen - **Contributor:** Sean Fine, Andrea Nix Fine - **Language:** English - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 47 minutes ## Images ![War Dance [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81nVd6irXZL.jpg) ![War Dance [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913MR2XkIxL.jpg) ![War Dance [DVD] - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41n-74mnHTL.jpg) ![War Dance [DVD] - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MRvQRgLLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars WHEN I DANCE, I FEEL FREEDOM...! *by L***D on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2008* This is a documentary you won't soon forget about growing up in a refugee camp in war torn Northern Uganda. It takes you back and forth down two tracks until the grand finale. One track is the horrific stories of violence and terror as told by the children themselves (the PG-13 rating) about being forced to watch their parents and siblings being killed and picking up the body parts after, about being forced at gunpoint to kill others with a hoe and other unspeakable experiences. The other track takes you down a path of hope and optimism as you follow the preparation of Patongo Grammar School (the school in the camp) to participate in the prestigious national music and dance festival in Kampala. One very talented young student is determined to be the 'best xylophone player in Uganda'. This is the first time this school has been selected to represent their tribe at the competition. They bring in two professional teachers to help. The students are excited and confident and nervous-for many (if not most) their first trip to a real city. With the camp under 24/7 armed military guard, there is little opportunity to venture more than a few yards outside the camp perimeter. Finally, the big day arrives and the village sends them off in trucks with armed guards. Even in Uganda there is the 'wrong side of the tracks' and the students discover that the other students at the festival consider them to be from that side. This makes them even more determined to win. The competition is an exciting finish to this both horrific and heartwarming film. [...]. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Will bring tears to your eyes *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2008* I invited a friend to see this movie at a small theater by my house because she and I both have a heart for Africa. We sat in the empty theater, moved by the stories and weeping during the hard parts.Shortly after, I left for Tanzania (Africa) and spent 3 months working with orphans and vulnerable children (living with aids / affected by aids). If you haven't experienced African culture, you might not fully understand the families, the children nor the music competition (I saw a comment that talked bad about the families being so harsh).Africa is torn apart by the aids epidemic, poverty, famine and war. And the the children are left with little to no hope. They realize that their one key to success is education but even that is limited to the rich or sponsored children since "public" school still needs to be paid for.This documentary does well to showcase how the children of Uganda are affected by this horrible war and how they have such a hope in a music competition so they can be seen as more than children of war.After watching this documentary, I recommend researching the LRA (Lord's Resistance Army), this war, northern Uganda and going to the film makers web page. Documentaries such as this are making changes to a country that needs our help. The more we are aware, the better it will get. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Richard Close *by R***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2009* This if a breath taking movie and true to the core. It is not so much about war but how we can recover from war and the people that do the work. I must be be critical of one point that is common to many Africa movies that want a larger audiance. This movie show children and parents in prayer and pastors but it hides the role of Christian missioners in the reconciliation movement in the film. Doing this increase donations and the size of the market, but it is and insult to the hundreds of thousands of good people on the ground risking their lives for these kids every day. In writing my books on Kenya and Zambia I have faced more than one machete to rescue children. A major for that gives these kids strength is the forgiveness that the Christian faith offers them. It is key for their suvival and unjust that we edit it out of films for fundraising purposes. When I wrote like Life Inside the Gospel Rescue Mission I had to wressle with this. Censoring Jesus is not a truthful documentarty technique. In the end we must ask what are we afraid of in documenting the whole truth.This veideo, Beat the Drum" and "Sometimes in April" are all must sees. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/12555633-war-dance-dvd](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/12555633-war-dance-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
