Hissein Habré, A Chadian Tragedy (2016)
Part of the ScreenPeace Film Festival 2017
Directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun
In 2013, former Chadian dictator Hissein Habré’s arrest in Senegal marked the end of a long combat for the survivors of his regime. Accompanied by the chairman of the Association of the Victims of the Hissein Habré Regime, Mahamat Saleh Haroun goes to meet those who survived this tragedy and who still bear the scars of the horror in their flesh and in their souls. Through their courage and determination, the victims accomplish an unprecedented feat in the history of Africa by bringing a head of state to trial.
