A Screaming Man
Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun

A devastating portrait of a man's moral collapse under economic desperation and wartime pressure, told through the intimate tragedy of a father sacrificing his son.
Adam Ousmane is a pool attendant at a local resort. When the new managers decide to downsize, Adam loses his job to his own son, Abdel. Shattered by the turn of events, Adam is pressured into contributing to the Chadian war effort. With no money to speak of, the only asset he can donate is his son.
