A new film produced by The Genocide Education Project (GenEd) was
released this month for use in schools. The 12 minute documentary,
"The Armenian Journey: From Despair to Hope in Rhode Island" tells the
story of Armenian Genocide survivor Margaret Garabedian Der Manuelian,
told through the narrative voice of her great-granddaughter, 21 year
old Dalita Getzoyan, Asbarez reports.
The film will be accompanied by a resource guide for teachers to
build a classroom assignment connected to the film. In May, GenEd
will conduct teacher-training workshops on the Armenian Genocide and
how to incorporate the film in their instruction.
"The Armenian Journey: From Despair to Hope in Rhode Island," traces
Der Manuelian's testimony of survival of the Armenian Genocide and
arrival in Rhode Island. The film also provides an introduction to the
history of the Armenian Genocide and illuminates the impact of genocide
denial on future generations. Getzoyan who is also an educator, said,
"Capturing my grandmother's testimony in this manner will help to
ensure the victims of the Armenian Genocide are remembered. I believe
this is what my grandmother would have wanted."
"We believe that providing educators with a video and instructional
guide that fits their educational needs and classroom time limitations
will help them teach about the Armenian Genocide in a way that
allows students to engage on a more direct and personal level with
the subject matter," said Raffi Momjian, GenEd's executive director.
