Daratt in January

5 December 2007

At the end of the 40-year civil war in Chad, the government announces an amnesty for war criminals, angering the elderly Gumar Abatchar, who orders his 16-year-old grandson Atim to hunt down and kill the man responsible for his father's death. But when Atim locates his man, his course of action and the relationship that develops between them is not as clear-cut as he expected it to be. Abouna director Abderrahmane Sissiko has created in Daratt a powerful parable of guilt, revenge and post-war reconciliation, driven by two fine central performances and building to a hauntingly memorable conclusion.

Following its indie cinema UK release, Daratt has been announced for a UK DVD release by Soda Pictures for 28th January 2008 at the RRP of £19.99. The disc will feature a widescreen transfer, a Dolby 2.0 stereo soundtrack and the following extra features:

  • Theatrical Trailer;
  • Deleted Scenes;
  • Q&A with director Mahamet-Saleh Haroun.
