Angry Man is a film about secrets that shouldn't be secret. Many children don't live safely in their own homes. These children are scared, feel forgotten and often blame themselves for the difficulties at home. In this film it is the father who beats mother. The boy “Boj” is the witness. To see somebody being mistreated can do much more harm than we know. Many of these children put the blame on themselves and feel a terrible responsibility for what is happening in the home. Many believe that this is only happening in their own family and doesn't dare to talk about it to anybody. It is a super secret. The 20 minute film Angry Man is made to make this subject more known so it can be debated. The secrets must be known. All adults have to make sure that nobody is afraid at home.

Angry Man was shown at over 100 international festivals. It is claimed to have been the most rewarded film worldwide in 2010. Today the film is widely used in educational work to prevent and detect violence at home and to help victims.

"This is one of these rare films that when you see it you know; this is art! When great story telling comes together with beautiful imagery and moves you like only art can do.Forget that this is animation. This is beautiful film making, period! From the point of view of a young boy "ANGRY MAN" tells the story of having to deal with a violent and scary dad. It is true to the book it's based on, but also expands and enhances the story in this medium of "cut out" animation. It makes us all proud to be animation film makers." Odense International Film Festival 2010, Odense, Denmark.
