Join GlobeMed for a free film screening of the movie War Dance, followed by Q&A with Dr. Susan MacLaury, the co-founder of the non-profit film company Shine Global.  The film was nominated for an Academy Award for the Best Documentary Feature and won 15 awards at different film festivals all over the country.  It centers on the conflict in Uganda and specifically the children, who are the most victimized.  Though the country is ravaged by war, the children of Uganda nonetheless get ready for the biggest event of the year, the National Music Competition. Despite the odds, the children from a particularly disadvantaged refugee camp practice “their hearts out” and show what determination can achieve.
