Serj Tankian documentary to premiere on February 19

The new documentary about System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian, "Truth to Power", examining the singer's history of activism will come out via Oscilloscope Laboratories on February 19.

The film features exclusive interviews with Tankian and the singer’s own footage. It also shows how Tankian writes music. It features interviews with his System of a Down bandmates, producer Rick Rubin, and Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello. It also features a score by Tankian.

Ahead of the documentary's premiere, Oscilloscope has released a clip where Tankian is seen exploring Los Angeles’ Little Armenia.

The film is directed by Garin Hovannisian and executive produced by Joe Berlinger.

Tankian recently joined his System of a Down bandmates in the studio to record their first new music in 15 years. The two new songs, “Protect the Land” and “Genocidal Humanoidz,” were recorded to help raise awareness about the crisis in Nagorno-Karabakh, which was attacked by Azerbaijan.
