"Dance of the Warrior journeys around the world to film over 20 dancers and dance troupes representing traditions from six continents, many with roots in antiquity...Sid' Ali, an Algerian-born, Paris-based artist, serves as our guide, painting the stories and experiences of the warrior dancers. This stunning film investigates the paradox inherent in all these rituals: that the "agression" of these performances contributes to social and individual peace...other key themes include art and politics, spirtual awakening and colonial relations with aboriginal cultures"--Container.
