More than eighty years after the Armenian genocide of 1915
Armenian-Americans have a documentary to remember the horror.
The movie was brought to Fresno at the request of the Armenian
community.
Carla Garapedian, the film’s director said, "The term screamers comes
from a book by Harvard professor Samantha Howard. She calls a screamer
someone who refused to stand idly by and watch genocides unfold in
front of them. All through history, we’ve had screamers who have
raise a hand and said we’ve got to stop this."
Over the weekend, the film took on extra significance when one of
the interview subjects was killed on Friday, January 19th, outside
his office in Istanbul, Turkey.
