Tankian tells about his past, but only superficially

Tankian tells about his past, but only superficially (don watch expecting to hear all about his past and of the band). The focus of the doc is really the velvet revolution of Armenia and how he was involved. Like he said in other interviews: he is a activist first and an artist second, and the movie shows that. But that's not to say that he doesn't show his artistic side. He talks about SOAD, his recording process, his paintings... Only part of System of Down makes an appearance, except for Daron, that can be justified with the last few years drama. But besides all that is an absolute must see to have an inside look on how Serj Tankian works and what are his motivations. It is a really beautiful movie.

Truth To Power is a powerful documentary film

Truth To Power is a powerful documentary film by System Of A Down's very own Serj Tankian. It walks you through the birth of the nu-metal band, lightly touches on their ups and downs, and dives deep into Serj's relentless journey to change the world. I have been a fan of System of a Down since 2000 when I was just a Jr. High kid who wanted to listen to a new band that would immediately change my life. Their music has always been inspiring to me and was the soundtrack of my youth. This documentary film shows that music can change the world. I got goosebumps listening to Serj discussing his life and giving us a rare look into his journey from childhood to the present day. I loved learning many random facts about Serj, such as that the poems that he wrote before his music career would later become lyrics to many of his songs. His words have always been beautiful, powerful, and thought-provoking. His life mission to rectify injustice is the soul of this film. The fight to get Armenia's genocide recognized is incorporated throughout the documentary, as is the backbone of the Serj's identity and System Of A Down's purpose. Truth To Power is pieced together nicely and well-paced as it is, engaging and inspiring. You will easily walk away from this film with more knowledge and great respect for Serj. I give Truth To Power a 9 out of 10. It is a rare look into Serj Tankian's life that fans and activists will appreciate. You will also get a better understanding of the suffering that the people of Armenia have experienced.

Wow. A+ and must watch as a SOAD fan

An amazing doc for fans alike and anyone with a spine to stand up and believe in truth and morals for your neighbor and species. It's a great narrative to the bands sound, and best explains what they represent, and that only expands their music's meaning and purpose. A must watch for SOAD fans when they open up the bands history both culturally and nationally through music. Make sure to add Thai to your watch. A solid documentary in general for those looking for more works behind the lyrics after the musics honey leave the bleak truth. Truely fun and viciously important- for the US now more than ever.
