Sierra Leone’s Refugee All Stars This inspiring documentary dispels the stereotype of refugees as helpless victims of war and is a testament to the power of music. It tells the story of six refugees, all survivors of the brutal war in Sierra Leone, who meet in a camp in neighbouring Guinea and form a band that performs a mix of reggae, R&B and traditional music. Following the group over the course of three years, we see the band travel amongst Guinean refugee camps and back to war-ravaged Freetown. “…The Refugee All Stars film is a hymn to the strength of the human spirit. It does not spare us from the graphic brutality of the conflict, but it juxtaposes it with life-affirming moments of defiant hope and forgiveness.” The Independent" Live musical performance from Musician (tbc) DJ Nimz |
