Meaningful Media-Melnitz Movies Film Series Kick-Off Event: WAR/DANCE

We are thrilled to announce the launch of our film series in partnership with UCLA's Melnitz Movies. Meaningful Media and Melnitz Movies will periodically co-host a free screening, Q & A and reception for a prominent new film that targets social issues across the globe. At each event, you can make a difference by participating in a quick Action aligned with the theme of the film. We look forward to sharing this experience with you.

Come see a FREE sneak preview of the Sundance documentary WAR/DANCE before it hits theaters next month. Listen to live African drumming, meet the filmmakers, and mingle with others interested in meaningful media at our catered event featuring drinks, appetizers, and African cuisine.

WAR/DANCE
Set in Northern Uganda, a country ravaged by more than two decades of civil war, War/Dance tells the story of three children whose families have been torn apart and who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo. When they are invited to compete in a music and dance festival, their historic journey to their nation's capital becomes an opportunity to regain part of their childhood and taste victory for the first time in their lives.
