Amnesty International Film Showing

Thursday, December 9, 2010 06:30 PM - 08:30 PM

Wood River High School 1250 Fox Acres Road, Hailey Distance Learning Lab

The Wood River High School Amnesty International Club invites you to join them on Thursday, December 9, from 6:30 to 8:30 at the WRHS Distance Learning Lab to celebrate Human Rights Day. The evening will start with the inspiring documentary War Dance, which chronicles the tale of children living in Northern Uganda and the relief from conflict they find through music. Currently, Northern Uganda is home to extreme brutality and abuse, especially due to the presence of the rebel Lord's Resistance Army. Thousands and thousands of native Ugandan citizens have been killed, abused, abducted, and displaced. War Dance has been nominated for an Oscar, and has won over fifteen awards, including Directing Award and Documentary Award at Sundance Film Festival. The movie will be followed by a brief panel discussion. No charge, and refreshments will be provided.
