Set in Northern Uganda, a country ravaged by more than two decades of civil war, WAR/DANCE tells the story of Dominic, Rose, and Nancy, three children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed, and who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo. When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance competition, their historic journey to their nation’s capital is also an opportunity to regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time in their lives.

the atmosphere’s strange
out on the town
music for pleasure
it’s not music no more
music to dance to
music to move
this is music to march to

to a war dance

a war dance

look at the victim
scrawled on the wall
you know the the reason
outside the door
you got something
nasty in your mind
trying to get out

to a war dance

a war dance

we walk round the pitch
honesty is sick
try to be honest
look what you get
the food runs short
and then the money talks
one way out
look for a nationist command

a war dance
