System Of A Down have lent their voice, music, and support to a ground-breaking new film called Screamers, which had its acclaimed world debut on November 2,
2007 in Los Angeles, CA as part of the prestigious AFI Film Festival.
Directed by the award-winning, humanitarian activist Carla Garapedian, Screamers is an internationally produced documentary that covers the history of modern-day
genocide and genocide denial, beginning with the Armenian Genocide in 1915, and how the world's inaction lead to other massacres.
System Of A Down have always worked to spread the message about official Armenian Genocide Recognition within the U.S. and other world powers that have yet to formally acknowledge that it took place. |

“Screamers”
highlights System of a Down’s 2005 world tour. It includes long takes of 7 live
performances in many cities from London to Los Angeles. Their music also serves
as back ground to many of the other clips in the film.
The most interesting
S.O.A.D. parts of the film, however, are the interviews with the band members
talking about the personal importance of helping create awareness and
recognition of the Armenian Genocide of 1915. They are caught on the tour bus
playing around at times, but the story-re-telling of events of the Genocide that
they have heard from their grandparents, is the films focus.
The best footage of
this includes older home-video footage of Serj’s grandfather, (one of the few
remaining survivors of the Armenian Genocide in the world!), and interactions
with Serj and his grandfather as of last spring.

"Screamers"
is a documentary feature following the Grammy-award winning rock band ‘System of
a Down’ as they confront the issue of the Armenian genocide in Turkey in 1915
and efforts by the Turkish government to deny it.
Through the band’s personal
campaign to stop all genocides, Pulitzer prize-winner Samantha Power, survivors
and whistleblowers, the film traces the Armenian genocide’s links to the
Holocaust, Rwanda, Bosnia, the Iraqi Kurds and today’s genocide in Darfur. It
shows how successive Presidents and corporate interests have conspired to turn a
blind eye to genocides as they are happening. We say ‘never again’ but we don’t
mean it.
