"Screamers", the gripping documentary about the multi-platinum, Grammy-award winning band "System Of A Down's" campaign to end the cycle of genocide, will be screened before a Congressional audience on Capitol Hill today, as earlier was reported the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA). "Screamers is about exposing the denial of all genocide, Armenia, the Holocaust, Cambodia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Rwanda, the Iraqi Kurds and the current horror in Darfur," said film director Carla Garapedian. "It is about making sure the same critical message George Clooney and Don Cheadle are 'screaming' about is heard, that these atrocities 'never happen again.' And I believe, it is this generation, the 'screamers', who will make sure all genocide is recognized and ends, because 'screamers' will no longer tolerate or accept previous generations of politicians and humanitarians who have so miserably failed them."

"Adolph Hitler used the Armenian Genocide as a blueprint for the Holocaust, silencing the potential reservations of his generals by asking the chilling question: 'Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians,'" said ANCA Executive Director Aram Hamparian. "These hateful words, inscribed on the walls of the U.S. Holocaust Museum and Memorial, remind us all of the compelling moral cause of our time - the message delivered so clearly and powerfully by Screamers - that we must end forever the cycle of genocide."

"Screamers" recently won the prestigious Audience Award at the AFI Film Festival and was selected by the Skirball Center for its under-18 Film Guide. The Jewish community of California will be shown the film on January 22. The film's nationwide release begins January 26.
