25 years in research and production, this feature-length documentary on the Armenian Genocide focuses on the day-to-day tragedy unfolding in Kharpert-Mezreh, one among 4000 towns and villages of the former Ottoman empire in 1915, where monumental forces were unleashed by a policy of annihilation. Includes eyewitness accounts of American and European officials, missionaries, and educators, and by Armenian survivors. These are revealed for the first time, through censored reports, classified documents and hidden diaries. Scratched-out journals are decoded with the help of digital technology.

Reviews
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
