Screamers Film at Oxford – 22 April 2009

On Wednesday April 22nd the undergraduate society Aegis, which promotes
awareness of genocide around the world, is hosting a screening of the
film ‘Screamers’ () at Rewley House in Oxford,
from 6pm.

Chronicling the efforts of Armenian rock band System of a Down to
persuade both the British and U.S. governments to recognize the
Armenian genocide, Screamers also traces the history of modern-day
genocide – and genocide denial – from the first occurrence in the 20th
century in Turkey, to today in Darfur.

Commentary and interviews with Pulitzer prize-winning author Samantha
Power ("A Problem from Hell: America and the Age of Genocide"),
survivors from Turkey, Rwanda and Darfur, FBI whistleblowers, and the
recently assassinated Hrant Dink, who was murdered in Turkey after
appearing in this film, shed light on why genocides repeat.
