    The film, written, produced and directed by Emmy Award-winner Andrew
    Goldberg, is the complete history of the Armenian Genocide. The film
    describes not only what happened before, during and since the First World
    War, but also takes a direct look at the genocide denial maintained by
    Turkey to this day.

    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.

    Rogers: Channel 2
