System of a Down — Soul mission (a film by Sevag Vrej)

Sevag Vrej directs a musical kaleidoscope documenting the four personalities that comprise the world-renowned rock band SYSTEM OF A DOWN. The 25-minute cinematic vignette follows the band on the eve of its benefit concert (SOULS 2004) in recognition of the Armenian Genocide, a cause that echoes back to the very essence of an event that shaped the band members as individuals and artists.
SOUL MISSION captures band members reflecting upon their music, politics, and persona, all while laughing and performing music. The interviews reveal the indomitable spirit and complex human emotions that inform and energize this high-impact rock act.
The band allows the camera access into its private and creative spaces in order to explore and underscore the universal call to tolerance and the absolution of injustice. From genocide to democracy, rage to horniness, backstage solitude to thousands of roaring fans, the film jolts viewers by alternating between rehearsals and interviews and culminating in the highly charged opening salvo of their live performance.
