Years of civil war and strife in Chechnya have left the country in ruins. But from all this blood and ash comes beauty—children with desire and determination brighter and stronger than any bomb or gunfire. Led by the indomitable spirit of their dance troupe leader, this band of incredibly talented children brings its message to the world, performing traditional dances throughout the globe, proving they are not to be defined by war and politics and violence. They, too, have dance and art and life and a fierceness that defies the characterizations of war.  CD
