Dancin in a Uganda Refugee Camp: "WAR/DANCE" comes to NYC
According to the Angelika Film Center:
"Already generating Oscar buzz, “War/Dance” is an uplifting and enlightening documentary about three young African girls. Devastated by the raging war in their home in Northern Uganda, they find hope as they make a historic journey to compete in their country’s national music and dance festival with their school in the Patongo refugee camp."
Sounds interesting, especially for performance studies gurus. Lets just hope this film doesn't subscribe to the colonial, ethnographic exotics of the Angelika's last "afro-diasporic" documentary: Asger Leth's deeply problematic (though aesthetically gorgeous) Ghosts of Cite Soleil.
Shouldn't an NYU grad know proper grammar? Lets/let's? By the way, you aren't any New York native. We all know where you come from, Frankie.

Rarely to I respond to venemous anonymous comments BUT:
God bless your simple little heart for running around reading blogs, correcting "proper grammar." Trust me boo, I'm doing "alright" with my English degree, thanks!
And I just cant help but assume that you're a scorn former NJ high school classmate. "You aren't any New York native?" Thats odd: I could have sworn I was born and raised in Queens, New York. I'd love for you to "prove" me otherwise. Oh, didnt think so!
