Aroview: Life-affirming Oscar-nominated doco investigates the lives of a group of war-torn Ugandan child refugees on their path towards competing in a national schools music competition.

Buoyant and bright in spite of the terrifying accounts of witnessed war atrocities, this stands as a stirring testimony to the transcendent spirit of music and the courage of children determined to overcome nightmarish pasts and the daily threat of rebel attack.

4 stars (Very Good) You can't escape the impression that the children have been coached and their interviews staged but this barely detracts from the gut wrenching story of the villagers. ~Tubbs
