The film tells the remarkable story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars, a group of musicians who form a band while living in a West African refugee camp. They were forced from their homes by a brutal civil war that took the lives of many of their loved ones and left them with physical and emotional scars that may never heal. But it could never take away their music. Through music they find a place of refuge, a sense of purpose and a source of power. This film follows the band over the course of three years as they make the difficult decision to return to their war-torn country and realize their dream of recording an album of their original music. The story of Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars celebrates the best of the human spirit - the incredible ability of individuals to sustain hope and find forgiveness even in a climate of rage and loss.</p> Child soldiers Guinea Liberia sierra leone refugee all stars africa music civil war diamonds drums guitar dance family god love Sierra Leone This video contains graphic footage of human rights abuses Torture Video War crimes 8.526701 -13.194580 Wed, 07 Nov 2007 15:28:11 -0800 edbanker 2468 at http://hub.witness.org
