Over the course of 2005, Canadian-Armenian filmmaker Araz Artinian
(producer of The Genocide in Me), conducted individual interviews of 20
men and women who had escaped the 20th century’s first genocide: The
Armenian Genocide of 1915. This uniquely-structured documentary
presents some of the most compelling first-person narratives ever
documented on video of those who suffered the extreme conditions and
humiliations of the planned extermination of their people by the Turkish
government. Their captivating stories are at once heartbreaking and
hopeful. The accompanying educational website, , has
won the Grafika Award for Best Informational/Education Website.
