This momentous 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 do we mean it????
Who I'd like to meet:
Anyone who wants to end the devastation of genocides once and for all.

Hello Screamers, I made myself a normal myspace instead of a band one so just add that one because I"ll be deleting this one pretty soon, and if you don"t know who I am do it anyway because you should know who I am. www. myspace. com/holycoweveryurlistaken
Oh man, first educational movie I have enjoyed watching! I got it about three days after it was released to DVD. We are going to be watching it in our Global History II class in a few weeks
We will never forget!!! [I know this is a day late] Denial is killing them twice, old sins cast long shadows. We need to bring justice so that the Armenians can finally rest in peace. 1.5 million people (+1) will not have died in vain!
I've just seen Screamers tonight in Paris, and all I have to say is thank you!! my mother is armenian, and so am I. thanks for what you've done, and not only for the armenian people!! I just couldn't stop crying at the end of this movie!
Translated from Armenian by Daniel Janoyan
Glendale, April 27, 1995
The spirit of the April Genocide,*
Rustling and blustering
In its metallic language and iron words
Crying triumphantly,
"We are still alive …"
Through the depth of Der Zor**
The wells of the Euphrates,
The sandy oceans,
The valleys of the death,
The unquenched horizons of history,
And from thousand corners this will be heard,
"We are still alive … "
Through lost corpses,
Dried bloods,
Forgotten memories,
And broken thorns,
The disturbed April spirit
Whose million bones transformed into earth
Will scream loudly,
"We will be living eternally …. "
Under every planet,
And from one corner to another,
We will be multiplying in tens and thousands
Through all times to come.
Passing from generation to generation
We shall never die.
WE, indeed WE, have been fed and nourished
From the deserts of DER ZOR.
The diaspora today in its stubborn march
Will be marching along with the most prudent,
The happiest and the greatest Armenian battles,
"We shall multiply … "
Increasing in numbers,
We shall multiply,
One Armenian after another,
Not only to fill up,
To hold and to replace
The deserted vacant places of the April Genocide,
But with our new generation
Numbering tens of thousands
We shall increase immensely in numbers,
We shall reconstruct with our own bare arms
A huge garden of "GREATER and MINOR ARMENIA … "
