'Screamers' Movie Featuring SYSTEM OF A DOWN To Hit Theaters In January

November 8, 2006

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, 2006 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. The band felt compelled to work with this unique project that hauntingly illustrates how the denial of those crimes lead to more genocides of the 20th Century — from the Holocaust to Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda...and all the way to present-day Darfur.

Using SOAD's music as the backdrop to historical footage and current accounts from genocide survivors, "Screamers" presents some of the great questions of our time: Can we stop genocide? Do we really mean "never again?" And how can we take action to prevent atrocities of this magnitude from happening in the future?

Beginning Friday, January 12, 2006, "Screamers" will be hitting theaters in markets such as: New York City, Detroit, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Fresno and Boston.
