System of a Down and lead singer Serj Tankian are the subjects of Live Nation Productions’ latest documentary, Truth to Power. Making its debut at the Cannes virtual marketplace this week, the film is directed by award-winning director/writer/producer Garin Hovannisian.

Executive-produced by Oscar-nominee Joe Berlinger and Live Nation Productions’ Ryan Kroft, Michael Rapino, Damian Vaca and Vaughn Schoonmaker, the film also features System of a Down’s John Dolmayan and Shavo Odadjian, their manager David “Beno” Benviste, filmmaker/journalist Carla Garapedian, Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello and producer Rick Rubin.
