    Be Prepared Emotionally

    by tiflester

    I expected to feel something from this movie. It's about children who have been orphaned by war and are finding dance and music as their only release and comfort...how can you not feel something? I suppose that as much as you may have heard about some of the warfare in Africa, to hear it coming from a child who has watched their parents be killed, or has been forced to kill other innocent people at the age of 10, it hits you a little differently. While the emotional roller coaster was a bit much, I really enjoyed this movie. These are some amazing children who are sure to open your eyes and make you appreciate what you have. It may even make you want to dance a little.

    Children

    by JusticeSeeker

    War Dance was not what I expected. I cried throughout the movie at the loss of childhood, at the atrocities, and the constant pain. These children have little to live for, yet they have hope and pride. It is a movie of great cleansing they look straight into the camera, as if to look into your eyes and tell their stories with such poignancy that you forget this is a child speaking.

    In the midst of all this the strength they display amazing resilience. Go see it,

    Humanity is not lost

    by ILoveForeignMovies

    Not just another "oh those poor children in Africa" movie. Compelling portraits of unforgettable individuals (not just headlines and horror). Reaffirms the universality of the human experience - pain, loss, joy, humor (yes, some of it's funny), struggle, triumph, fear, ambition and love. Challenging in ways you can't imagine - yet ultimately rewarding. More than than a "documentary". An homage to beauty in people, places and spirit. Stunning visually and emotionally. A genre by itself. As a half-African and mother of small children, I never thought I could sit through it based on the description. As tough as it was at times, I'm so glad I did. Kudos to the filmakers for following their hearts and respecting their subjects - it shows.
