A Screaming Man
Haroun's tale of tension between a father and son working at a hotel pool in war-torn Chad has the emotional power and stark inexorability of tragedy
Drama 2010 87 mins
Director: Mahamat-Saleh Haroun
Overview
Mahamet-Saleh Haroun relates a deeply moving tale, set in war-torn Chad, of tensions arising between a father and his son when job cuts result in the former's demotion. Pride, envy and poverty take their tragic toll...
