Hello Readers,
I recently graduated from UT after 4 years with a degree in Radio Television and Film. I have not found a job yet so I have been spending a lot of time at home watching Netflix. I have had the opportunity to to quadruple the amount of documentaries I have seen with this wonderful program and I want to share with you the films which stood out to me the most.
This film is called War Dance
This film is about children in Uganda who have suffered the wrath of the rebels in their country. Some have lost parents and others siblings. The film focuses on a dance competition that the primary schools compete in and the filmmakers show it as a way that these children heal and move on with their lives.
What I really enjoyed about this film was how the country and the children were portrayed. They were not shown as “poor African children who will always be in a rut”, they were shown as children who had experienced pain but were finding a way to cope and learning how to succeed in life.
The film was beautifully shot and the music was phenomenal. If I every had to opportunity to film something like this, I would jump at the opportunity. Great job filmmakers!!
