Soundgarden launched Chris Cornell's final music video, "The Promise," in support of World Refugee Day. The song was created for the 2016 historical film of the same name about the Armenian genocide. 

"It's very hard to put the pieces together for me," director Meiert Avis told Rolling Stone. "I've had many people break down when they watch the video. They either cry or are silent for 10 minutes."

"I hope [the video] provides a wider human context for the tragedy of his death," Avis continued. "I hope it creates something with purpose because Chris had purpose and to lose your purpose is a terrible thing."
