War Dance


Yesterday we went to Ms. Laura's house to watch a movie call War Dance. In the movie "Northern Uganda has been at war with a rebel force for the past twenty years. The Lord's Resistance Army (L.R.A), and the country's children has been the greatest victims of the conflict. But here, the children are not only victims of the rebels, they are the rebels. The L.R.A has a chillingly effective process to fill its rank - abducting innocent children. Children - young as five are ripped from their bed in front of their helpless parents. Once abducted, the children are forced at gunpoint to viciously beat or kill neighbor, and sometimes even their own parents. Each child has their own story. The Patongo Primary School students pour their into winning this year music competition." The movie touch me because each child has a story to tell how they saw their parents, sibles, and other relatives killed, and as they live on without their parents, they dance and sing for their future, and for their homeland. It was sad how they told their story on how they had to kill their parent or their parents killed in front of them. But its a great movie, to see how children dance and sang for the homeland and to win. You can look at the trail of the movie, the link is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2saj4gJ4Lvw
