Documentary Film

War Dance is the inspiring story of a school at the Patongo refugee camp in Northern Uganda.  The filmmakers follow Nancy, Dominic, and Rose -- three students who have been scarred by violence and war -- as they prepare for the annual National Music Competition in Kampala.  Deeply moving and affirming, this film explores the darkest places in the human soul and how music, dance, and community have the power to uplift and enhance feelings of self-worth, paving the way for positive change.  HM

Before It's Too Late

Last Chance to See is the story of an epic journey that began 20 years ago, when zoologist and wildlife photographer Mark Carwardine teamed up with the late writer Douglas Adams to visit some of the most inaccessible places on Earth. Their mission was to locate 9 of the world's most endangered species in their natural habitats, and they did. Now for this documentary, Carwardine and Adams' close friend, actor Stephen Fry, return to the same places and species to see what has become of them, 2o years on.
