War/Dance

THINKFilm

Either a late announcement or an early pre-Sundance buzz, but ThinkFilm have passionately conjoined themselves to the docu film directed by husband and wife Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine.

To be showcased during the docu competition this month at the Sundance Film Festival, War/Dance revolves around a group of African children who overcome the brutal realities of war by participating in a national musical competition. Set in Northern Uganda, “War/Dance” tells the story of three children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed and who reside in a displaced-persons camp in Patongo. When they are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival, their historic journey to their nation’s capital also is an opportunity to regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time.

Variety reports that ThinkFilm came on board early in the process and is banking on finding critical success for the doc, thus releasing it in the fourth quarter.
