The film Un Homme Qui Crie or 'A Screaming Man' by multi-award winning director Mahamat Saleh Haroun, had its UK premiere in London in October 2010. The film, about a father who loses his job as a swimming pool attendant in favour of his son, won the prestigious Jury Prize at the 2010 Cannes Festival. It is set against the backdrop of rebel attacks and civil conflict in Chad, which delves deep into the psychology of jealousy and the father-son relationship. Mahamat Saleh Haroun came into our studios and spoke to BBC Network Africa's Celeste Hicks.
