Screamers is a documentary film intent on shouting its message of continuing genocide across the globe, no matter that politicians and others turn a deaf ear to those who suffer. The film features personal stories of genocide survivors from Armenia, Rwanda, and Darfur, as well as policy critics and whistleblowers. It is a horror film, in the true source of the word.

"System of a Down" is a rock band that plays to packed houses around the world. While that is not unusual, what is unusual is that their songs shout about injustice. Each member of the band is a grandchild of a genocide survivor. At the core of the film’s message is that a number of countries, such as the USA and Great Britain, have yet to acknowledge that there was genocide in Armenia in 1915.

The film convincingly conveys the message that without acknowledgment, many can say that the genocide did not happen, and we find current day situations like Darfur continuing to occur. The Hitlers, Idi Amins and Milosovic’s of the world believe that "the more time passes, the more you forget." Sometimes genocide is called a civil war, if it’s convenient. Other times, such as now in Iraq, many don’t want to call the conflict a civil war because that’s just the tip of the iceberg which could be called the law of unintended consequences.

Some leaders want to convince us that while there are problems, the overall situation is under control. If we buy this, then the invasion of Iraq is the most brilliant foreign policy by the US in its history rather than the worse. Staying the course for two more years on a policy that was flawed from its inception must be changed. You can make a difference. Don’t be afraid of the "G" word. NOTE: Just spell out the "G" word in parenthesis!) Do something!
