By the end of WWI over 150,000 Armenian children were left parentless
as a direct result of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the
Ottoman Authorities.
Near East Relief commissioned by the U.S. Congress catered to over
132,000 Armenian orphans alone. "Orphans of the Genocide" is a short
film produced by the Armenoid Team.
This short documentary includes a feature interview by Maurice Missak
Kelechian, whose findings unveiled the secrets of an orphanage in
Antoura near Beirut, Lebanon, where 1,000 Armenian Genocide Orphans
were being turkified. Mr. Kelechian's research prompted an article by
award winning journalist Robert Fisk of The Independent magazine. This
short documentary also includes testimonials from children of Armenian
Genocide orphans. This 18 minute documentary debuted on April 24,
2010 at the commemoration of the 95th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide in Hollywood Florida. The one hour version of "Orphans of the
Genocide" will include a feature interview by award winning journalist
Robert Fisk.
The Armenoid Team is currently working on expanding "Orphans of the
Genocide" to a one hour film.
