    "ORPHANS OF THE GENOCIDE" OF AMERICAN ARMENIAN FILMMAKER TO BE READY SOON

    YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: On September 30 the documentary film
    "Orphans of the Genocide" will be screened at Woodbury University
    in Burbank. Four-time regional Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Bared
    Maronian will present the broadcast version of the film to the public.

    The event is organized by Ararat-Eskijian Museum.

    As reported by Armenpress, quoting Asbarez.com, the American Armenian
    famous scientist, professor, Armenian Genocide specialist, historian
    and the Director of the Genocide Research at "Zoryan" Institute
    Vahakn Dadryan as well will perform a speech at the event. The
    documentary award-winning filmmaker Bared Maronian has already
    presented the shorter version of the film "Orphans of the Genocide"
    to the American Armenians and the complete version of the movie will
    shortly be completed and screened.

    In 2011 the shorter version of the film was granted with Telly
    International Award and currently it has been nominated for Emmy
    Award. The works of the documentary started with the Antoura Orphanage
    in Lebanon, then passing through the Western and Eastern Americas,
    come to the final harbor - Armenia. The motivation of the film came
    for the article of the famous journalist Robert Fisk about the Antoura
    Orphanage in Lebanon, where 1,000 Armenian orphans were stripped of
    their identity and Turkified.

    For the film making Bared Maronian was inspired by the questions if
    the hundreds of thousands of Armenian orphans left after the World
    War I are not enough to prove the world that the Armenian Genocide
    is a historical fact.
