Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars
Directed by Banker White, Zach Niles (Sierra Leone, US, Guinea), 2005, 80 min.
Sierra Leone's Refugee All Stars is a band of six musicians who have been living as refugees in the Republic of Guinea. A brutal civil war forced them to flee their country while many of their family members were murdered in the conflict, leaving them with physical and emotional scars. Despite the traumas of the war these musicians have found refuge in reggae music, singing of the experiences of so many struggling to survive.
