I can't leave an unbiased comment on this film as it is so emotional, both happy and sad. I was prepared for it to be heavy, and I felt the film dealt with the hard aspects of children in war in a very even way. It lets the children describe the hardships for themselves, which usually comes across as detached and unemotional, but is more likely overwhelmed and unable to deal with the trauma. One child on the way to the dance competition in Kampala said "I can't wait to see what Peace is like." It was shocking to hear kids so young talk about murder, death, survival and loss so frankly.
I was really sucked in to the excitement and emotion of the dance competition. The kids said "When I dance, I don't think about war." Which is what happened to me in the movie as well. The competition makes it a fun and exciting film you are happy you saw.
