ABOUT THE FILM

This Academy Award®-nominated and Emmy Award®-winning documentary follows three children who triumph over civil war and the Lord’s Resistance Army, finding hope in the future by competing in Uganda’s national music and dance festival.

SEAN FINE + ANDREA NIX FINE

Sean Fine and Andrea Nix Fine are Oscar, Emmy and Peabody award-winning filmmakers. Critics have hailed their unique storytelling style as “unflinching”, “spirit-raising” and “visually ravishing.” The Fines filmmaking collaboration started when they met while making films for National Geographic. In 2003, they married and started directing together. Additionally, Andrea is the writer and Sean is the cinematographer on all their films.

Their other film with Shine Global, Inocente, a coming-of-age story about a homeless 15-year-old Latina artist, won the 2013 Oscar for Best Short Documentary. The Fines HBO documentary feature, Life According to Sam, chronicles a family’s race against time to save their son from an extremely rare and fatal disease, debuted at Sundance, was shortlisted for the 2014 Academy Awards for Best Documentary and was also honored with a Peabody and Emmy Award that same year. The Fines first gained acclaim for their 2008 film, War/Dance, the inspiring story about the power of music to heal and transform the lives of children living in Uganda’s war zone. War/Dance won numerous awards including two Emmys for Best Documentary and Best Cinematography, the Sundance Film Festival’s award for Best Documentary Direction, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

Most recently, the Fines have focused their storytelling style behind launching a social impact studio, Change Content. Change Content is currently developing a roster of features, limited series and a Broadway musical based on true stories. In addition, they are commercially represented by Interrogate. Their client list features incredible collaborations across brands like Gatorade, Gillette, Verizon, Tumi and Smithsonian, featuring such talents as Queen Latifah, Jamie Foxx, Lindsey Vonn and Constance Wu.

They currently live in Washington, D.C.
