An interesting range of reviews
here for the recent doc
War Dance by fellow Colby alum
Andrea Nix Fine and her partner Sean Fine. Beautifully shot, though many reviews rightly take issue with the Hollywood-esque depiction of some of the landscapes. Critics complain that these kind of slickified montages at least partly airbrush some reality out of the picture. I'm just glad the film was made, as it illuminates the
Acholi's plight at the hands of the INSANE
LRA. Well worth watching, regardless.
Sara feels like the montages gave her a chance to reflect on the unbelievable stories these children went through and allows the viewer to see how beautiful northern Uganda is. She makes good points. One thing we both took issue was that the deleted scenes were poignant and should have been part of the regular feature. Glad we watched them.
Reminded me at times of the fascinating but too-glossy
National Geographic Africa DVD set.
