The `Orphans of the Genocide,' created by four-time regional Emmy
award winning filmmaker Bared Maronian, was screened at AGBU New York
headquarters, the ANCA Eastern Region reports. It will be aired at 8
p.m. on PBS affiliate WMHT (https://www.wmht.org/) in New York on June
6.
`The ANC of New York is pleased to work with Mr. Maronian to spread
awareness of this significant film,' said ANC of New York co-chair
Arousiag Markarian. `The documentary tells an important story in the
history of the Armenian people, and we are happy to showcase the work
of Mr. Maronian, a longtime active community member in Florida.'
`Orphans' is a documentary that takes the viewer through archival
footage and discovered memoirs of orphans who lived through the 20th
century's first full documented genocide. It profiles orphans while
unveiling many orphanages where Armenians were housed in the Middle
East.
The film also explores the American Near East Relief Foundation in
saving, feeding and sheltering more than 150,000 documented Armenian
Genocide orphans between 1919 and 1926.
