A Screaming Man

Leaving Soon • 1h 30m

Leaving August 1

Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun | 91 mins | 2010

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.
