Scream of the Ants (Persian: Faryad-e-Morchegan) is a 2006 Iranian film directed by Mohsen Makhmalbaf and starring Mamhoud Chokrollahi and Mahnour Shadzi.

A newly wed Iranian couple (Mamhoud and Mahnour) go on a honeymoon on the river Ganges, in India and find a deeper meaning to their lives.

[1] Mohsen Makhmalbaf had wanted to make a film in India for fifteen years but was delayed by the country's "corruption and bureaucracy", according to the director.

[7] Young film critic Mozhdeh Ghazanfari wrote that "Makhmalbaf is incapable of telling his story through a cinematic language.

[9] In the book Banal Transnationalism: On Mohsen Makhmalbaf's 'borderless' filmmaking, Shahab Esfandiary wrote that "Makhmalbaf's attitude towards India and its inhabitants in this film resembles the view of eighteenth century European anthropologist who is baffled by the (apparent) ignorance, barbarism and superstitious beliefs of the people of the Orient [...] reminiscent of the project of colonialism.
