children whose families have been torn apart, their homes destroyed, and
who currently reside in a displaced persons camp in Patongo. When they
are invited to compete in an annual music and dance festival, their
historic journey to their nation's capital is also an opportunity to
regain a part of their childhood and to taste victory for the first time
in their lives.
