    AL JAZEERA TO AIR 'GRANDMA'S TATTOOS'

    Armenian Weekly Staff
    January 10, 2012

    WASHINGTON (A.W.)-"Grandma's Tattoos," a Swedish production directed
    by Suzanne Khardalian, will air on Al Jazeera English eight times
    over the week of Jan. 11-18, occupying a 'prime time' slot in all
    the key time zones.

    Khardalian (R) in Der Zor "This is an extraordinary achievement for
    the film," director Suzanne Khardalian told the Armenian Weekly. "The
    film will have a huge exposure, and will reach countries that would
    have been difficult to reach."

    "Grandma's Tattoos" (2011), a 58-minute-long documentary, chronicles
    Khardalian's quest to uncover the atrocities that scarred her
    grandmother, a woman who bore "devilish marks"-tattoos on her face and
    hands-that were the persistent reminders of a time in captivity and
    rape during the Armenian Genocide. Much of her experiences remain a
    mystery to her progeny, but the few tidbits Khardalian discovers years
    after her grandmother's death are but a faint yet terrifying echo of
    the hellish occurrences that haunted the survivors to the grave.

    Witness, the Al Jazeera program that will feature "Grandma's Tattoos,"
    screens award-winning documentaries that present realities often in
    conflict or disaster stricken regions, from Nairobi to Palestine,
    Japan to Somalia, Libya to Turkey.

    Al Jazeera English is an international round-the-clock English
    language news and current affairs TV channel headquartered in Doha,
    Qatar. Launched in 2006, it reaches around a billion English speaking
    viewers.
