Screamers (documentary): Screening and discussion with the director

Screamers chronicles the efforts of the Grammy award-winning 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, a journalist and editor who was murdered in Turkey after appearing in this film, shed light on why genocides repeat.
