Larry King Calls Screamers 'Brilliant. A Film Everyone Should See'
LOS ANGELES--Larry King has declared the film "Screamers"--now playing in select cities nationwide in the US--a must-see. "It's a brilliant film," said King. "Everyone should see it." The film features the Grammy award-winning band System of a Down and exposes the denial of genocide in the last century, from the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda -- right up to the genocide unfolding now in Darfur.
King's statement follows Monday's special screening at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, hosted by "Screamers" contributor Samantha Power, Pulitzer prize-winning author of A Problem from Hell, America and the Age of Genocide. The School's Starr auditorium was packed out by students, System of a Down fans and journalists alike -- as well as a special appearance by Henry Morgenthau III, grandson of the US Ambassador who was a "screamer" during the Armenian genocide.
"Screamers" is a frontal assault on US foreign policy in the face of genocide -- identifying the hypocrisy of successive Presidents lip-service to the idea of 'never again.'Two days after Congressmen saw a special screening in the Library of Congress, one of the contributors in the film, Hrant Dink, was brutally murdered in Turkey -- for the very beliefs he expressed in the film.
The film opens in Boston and Chicago February 9, following New York and Washington. DC openings on January 26 and is supported by Save Darfur and Jewish WorldWatch.
"With a genocide going on now in Darfur, it's vital that we send a message out now to our politicians that we must do everything we can to stop genocide now," said Carla Garapedian, the director of "Screamers.

I agree., one of the best I have seen! With luck it will be out on dvd or get released nation wide so everyone can see it. I think it should be shown in school like Schindlers List, we all need to be more educated, so these type's of crimes will stop in our lifetimes. Peace!

I'm really hoping that exposure of this film by someone as well-known as Larry King will get some attention. It would be great if he featured the film on his show at some point. keep hope alive, Lin =) (don't kill me, ZAk....but I must thank ARTO for the link to this article)

I loved this movie....still don't understand why it has not been widly released? I guess most people would rather see another Julia Roberts shitfest than something that empowers. Sad to me! Hey Soulie, l loved the show. Thanks for the invite!

I hope the movie goes international! I agree it should be shown anywhere, this is something that needs to be seen. I have read S. Power's book. It's shocking, it really makes you want to scream. She is a great woman. And as someone already said: PEACE!!!

I havnt seen it but i really want to, it looks so good but i have noticed something, this does go against this movie at all, but Larry King says "this is a brilliant movie" to so many movies its scary. But screamers looks really good.
