Dry Season

Sat, Apr 27, 2024
    Part of
  • BAM Film 2024
Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun (2006)
With Ali Barkai, Youssouf Djaoro, Aziza Hisseine

In the wake of Chad’s decades-long civil war, teenage Atim sets out on a mission to kill the man who murdered his father—but when his supposed enemy takes him under his wing, Atim finds himself in a standoff with his own conscience. Working in an elegantly stripped-down style, Haroun crafts a quietly intense parable of revenge and forgiveness that moves with slow-burn intensity towards its stunning finale.
