Sierra Leone�s Refugee All Stars chronicles the courageous band over three years, from Guinean refugee camps back to their war-ravaged homeland, as they spread a message of peace and tolerance. Serving as a unique tribute to the power of music and the celebration of the human spirit, this award-winning film from directors Zach Niles and Banker White, will be available on DVD for the first time August 14.
SIERRA LEONE�S REFUGEE ALL STARS follows band mates Reuben Koroma, Francis �Franco� Langba, Efuah Grace, Mohammed Bangura, Arahim Kamara and Alhadji �Black Nature� Kamara through their tour of local refugee camps, debut recording sessions and a painful return to their country for the first time since the war.
Through their unflinching spirit, their powerful stories of survival and their joyful music, SIERRA LEONE�S REFUGEE ALL STARS celebrates the best of the human spirit. And as violent conflicts multiply around the globe and the worldwide refugee crisis deepens, this poignant and powerful film is a humanizing ode to all the survivors of war whose brutal realities are often unwittingly diminished through mass media sound bytes.
The DVD release of SIERRA LEONE�S REFUGEE ALL STARS will top off a stellar summer for the group, coming on the heels of the debut of the film on PBS�s acclaimed P.O.V. series in June, the release of the band�s new album, �Anti-debut Living Like A Refugee,� in July, and in the midst of their nationwide summer tour which includes performances at the 75th Anniversary of Save the Children and The Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Their just-released collaboration with Aerosmith on John Lennon�s �Give Peace a Chance,� is features on the all-star Instant Karma CD, with proceeds to benefit Amnesty�s Darfur campaign.
