SIERRA LEONE’S REFUGEE ALL STARS

by Banker White and Zach Niles (80 min) 2007

“Traumatized by physical injuries and brutal losses in Sierra Leone’s civil war, a group of refugees fight back with the only means they have — music.”

The heartwarming true story of a group of African men who fled Sierra Leone during the civil war that devastated their country from 1991 to 2000. Among them were musicians who began making music as a distraction for their fellow refugees. A UN sponsored trip took the band back to Freetown where they were given the opportunity to make their first studio recording. The band now tours the world.
