“SCREAMERS” TO BE SHOWN IN OXFORD
- On Wednesday April 22nd the undergraduate society Aegis, which promotes awareness of genocide around the world, is hosting a screening of the film “Screamers” at Rewley House in Oxford. Chronicling the efforts of Armenian 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, who was murdered in Turkey after appearing in this film, shed light on why genocides repeat.
