The Armenian Genocide
Documentary (53 min.)

During World War One, as the rest of the world looked on, the Ottoman Empire carried out one of the largest genocides in the world's history, killing huge portions of its minority Armenian population. The European powers, which had defeated the Turks time and again on the battlefield, were unable or unwilling to prevent these deaths. In the end, over one million Armenians had been put to death by execution or by deliberate exposure and starvation.
To this day, Turkey not only denies the genocidal intent of these mass murders but has gone to great lengths to rewrite history, and, in fact, to stop the telling of this story wherever possible. The result has been a nearly a century of historical revisionism and a distortion of facts that unequivocally indict Turkey for genocide.
This film, written, produced and directed by Emmy Award- winner Andrew Goldberg, is the complete story of the Armenian Genocide. The film describes not only what happened before, during and since World War I, but also takes a direct look at the genocide denial maintained by Turkey to this day.
The Armenian Genocide features interviews with acclaimed scholars (including many of Turkish descent) such as Peter Balakian, Samantha Power, Ron Suny, Taner Akcam, Halil Berktay, and Israel Charney. It is narrated by Julianna Margulies and includes historical narrations by Ed Harris, Natalie Portman, Laura Linney and Orlando Bloom.
