Saturday Night Film
“It is difficult to believe our story, but if we don’t tell you, you won’t know.”
We are thrilled to have the opportunity to screen WAR/DANCE for our Saturday night film. This documentary tells the story of Dominic, Rose, Nancy and their school in the Patongo Internally Displaced Persons camp as they take an historic journey to compete in Uganda’s national music and dance festival. This powerful and vivid film received the Best Non-Fiction Film award at the 2007 Traverse City Film Festival. It is schedule to hit theaters nationally on November 2, and so this is an opportunity for people in Northern Michigan to once again see this film before its official release.
The film is presented by the Great Lakes Bioneers as part of the annual Great Lakes Bioneers Conference held on the campus of Northwestern Michigan College October 19-21, 2007. Its open to everyone, so even if you can’t make the conference, come join us for a movie.
We will be accepting donations at the event on behalf of the Patongo Scholarship Fund, which is overseen by the co-director of War/Dance, Sean Fine.
