Near the climactic sequence in War/Dance, there are a couple of brief shots of a small boy playing a crude, wooden xylophone amid a group of young performers. His face is a virtual study in rapturous concentration. It seems to be expressing nothing less than joy.
The scene is striking, but it’s also remarkable because of what this documentary has told us about this serious but friendly 14-year-old’s background. He’s been a participant in wartime atrocities in the over 20-year-long Ugandan civil war.
