A Screaming Man

Leaving Soon • 1h 30m

Leaving August 1

Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun | 91 mins | 2010
The first film from Chad to feature in the Cannes competition, where it was awarded the 2010 Jury Prize, Mahamat-Saleh Haroun’s affecting, postcolonial father-son story is set against the backdrop of civil war, but flouts war film conventions. Haroun confines his tale largely to the resort where Adam, a former swimming champion, works alongside Abdel, his 20-year-old son—until the elder man is pressured to enlist his offspring in the cause.
