Watch War Dance For Free

Captivating movie !

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Just shocking!! I have not attempted to write any comments on this web site (just lack of time maybe) but after seeing this movie, I felt that had to write about it. It is so touching and natural that I could not help crying while I was watching this film. I felt guilty on my part to share this wild and cruel world, creating so called wars , killing humans and leaving millions of orphans behind... And even the most merciless tran of the war lords can not overcome with love of music and dance. Movie gives a clear idea of how miserable lives are lived at the heart of black Afica. Everybody must see this movie to get insight about war and humanity..

DANCING AROUND GENOCIDE. Some scenes.. clearly staged and a Uganda government employee, Emmanuel Olobo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was also a translator, raising questions about objectivity and the extent of the dictatorship's involvement in other aspects of the film; what's shocking is that Olobo's name is even listed on the credits at the end of the film, although he is not identified as a government official, until recently based in the Uganda embassy in Washington, D.C. as First Secretary, where he worked under Ugandan ambassador Perezi Kamunanwire, Uganda's chief apologist to the U.S. The film's most glaring weakness is failure to adequately expose the Museveni regime's role in creating the concentration camps and forcefully forcing Acholis, women, men and children into the camps (for more background please see the Human Rights Watch Report "Uprooted and Forgotten, Impunity and Human Rights Abuses.http://blackstarnews.com/?c=132&a=4253

Much like Gore's film, War/Dance is a great cinematic contribution to the world. Bold statement. This film has less urgency and less catastrophe than Gore's but still, it must be watched. I really like the style of storytelling: they allowed the three main subjects--three children: Rose, Nancy, & Dominic--to do all of the storytelling (without any provided narration). The result is three intimate and soul-wrenching revelations of turmoil and perseverance, and most importantly, of hope. Children can be very profound; these three definitely are. They have that look of war veterans in their eyes. Amazingly captured in the cinematography. The shots, presentation of political & social subject matter, emotional content--all excellent. You will walk away informed & attached, and wanting to take action; you don't feel like you've just read yesterday's newspaper or received some second or third-generation information. This film is moving in so many ways. Go.

First of all, be prepared: this is not an easy film to watch. Though I had heard something about the situation in Uganda, I had no idea just how horrible things are for so many people there. As other viewers have commented, it is hard to watch these children narrate their stories of horror, which are so disturbing you almost wish the film was fictional. And yet -- when these children have the opportunity to dance, to sing, to play music, it does indeed seem that something in their hearts can shine again. This is one of those documentaries that will spur you to action -- to want to do something to make a difference -- if not in Uganda, then in your own community. Certainly if you've been feeling sorry for yourself and obsessing about your personal issues, this movie will help you put them in perspective. It is also a gorgeously shot film in what must have been trying circumstances. I wondered how the filmmakers got so intimate with their subjects - at one point, a boy reveals something horrifying to the filmmakers that he had not told anyone else before. I felt the filmmakers did a good job of treating these children with respect and dignity even as they showed the unthinkable challenges they face. A must-see film, and one of the best documentaries of the year.
