  A sensitive depiction of the attempted Genocide of the Armenian people by the Turkish government. They show some of the terrible things that were done to the Armenians but without the the visuals of blood and gore in order to be able to use this film as a teaching tool when out of the theaters. Please go and see some of the things that happened to my ancestors - aunts. uncles and grandparents. The scene where they reach Musa Dagh toward the end of the film doesn't tell you that the Armenians who fought to survive there lasted 40 days.

  There is a movie playing at Hot Docs, Intent To Destroy, about the making of this movie and the suppression of the history of this atrocity http://www.theglobeandmail.com/arts/film/joe-berlinger-on-the-fine-art-of-making-a-movie-about-anothermovie/article34878477/

  This movie was Excellent. It told the story of the Armenian Genocide which is a story that must be told so that history doesn't repeat itself.

  While I agree with the critics that the "love story" portion of the film was dis-tracking and unnecessary, the movie itself was worthy of high praise. An interesting storyline based on facts was well paced and well developed. A combination of excellent photography and music assisted the story telling of an event that has not had much play in the Western media. Well worth seeing.

  Well-acted and brings focus to the Armenian genocide within the Ottoman Empire.
