A Screaming Man takes place in Chad, during a period of civil unrest among the population. The story focuses around the main character of Champ, an accomplished former swimmer. He makes his living working as a pool attendant for a hotel. His son then becomes drafted into the army after he refuses to pay to keep him out anymore. The story then follows as this man with the guilty conscience goes back to save his son from life as a soldier. Unfortunately, he dies of his wounds. I loved the directing for this movie. I thought it was phenomenal and completely different from American movies. There was a lot less fast paced action and it felt more like a real life situation than a movie. I also thought the title was a nice touch even though the man never screams. It felt more like he was internally dying.
