`SCREAMERS’ DOCUMENTARY TO BE SCREENED IN YEREVAN, ARMENIA
`SCREAMERS’ Director Carla Garapedian will introduce her film to
Yerevan’s big screen for the week leading up to April 24, 2007
YEREVAN, ARMENIA-The highly acclaimed documentary film SCREAMERS will
be showing in Yerevan at Moscow Cinema from April 17 to April 24,
2007. The film features the Grammy Award-winning Armenian American
LA-based band System of a Down, along with Pulitzer Prize-winning
author Samantha Power, the late former Agos Daily editor Hrant Dink,
former FBI translator and whistle-blower Sibel Edmonds, Armenian
National Committee of America (ANCA) Executive Director Aram
Hamparian, and more.
System of a Down, one of the most powerful and progressive American rock
bands, through its songs and on stage performance, calls for the
recognition of the Armenian genocide of 1915, still denied by Turkey and
the United States. SCREAMERS follows the four-member Armenian American
band on tour as they engage in a campaign for genocide recognition and
to examine why genocides keep occurring to this day. The band takes up
the charge, attending rallies across the nation and at the White House,
educating its fans and elected officials, and speaking out. The film is
packed with live concert footage that capture the powerful performances
interspersed with their personal stories, SCREAMERS is a tour-de-force
documentary that bears the name of those who will not be silenced: those
who continue to scream "never again."=80¨
Garapedian will also be meeting with various youth groups and NGOs
during her visit to Yerevan to discuss the film and the urgency to bring
an end to similar injustices around the world. She will also join the
march to the Armenian Genocide Memorial with the Armenian Youth
Federation and fellow participants on the evening of April 23, 2007 to
remember the lost lives to the Armenian Genocide and lead the way for
all Screamers.
