We hosted our first International Movie night this Wednesday! It was a great time and a good addition to our potluck. We are going to be watching a movie once a month during our normal dinner time. This time we watched War Dance. It is a story of a group of children from Northern Uganda who travel to Kampala to participate in a singing, dancing, and instrumental competition. A lot of the film was difficult to watch because of the tragic conditions and wartime lifestyle these children live in. Additionally, the scope of the pain that has been endured by this tribe is hard to imagine and hard to watch.
Also, to see the dancing as a therapy was beautiful. I wondered as we watched about the quiet moments they spent in prayer. About the prayers the young ones taught the babies they cared for.
