Larry King: ‘Screamers’ is
Brilliant!
 WATERTOWN,
Mass.—Larry King has declared the film “Screamers”—now
playing in select cities nationwide in the U.S.—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 the 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 by students, System
of a Down fans and journalists. Henry Morgenthau III,
grandson of the U.S. Ambassador Henry Morgenthau who was a
“screamer” during the Armenian Genocide, also attended the
event and addressed the public (see our report on page 5).
The film opened in Boston and Chicago on Feb. 9, following
the New York and Washington openings on Jan. 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 now to our politicians that we must do
everything we can to stop genocide now,” said “Screamers”
director Carla Garapedian.
