Canadian Premiere of 'Orphans of the Genocide'
10/25/2013
The Canadian premiere of the Emmy Award-nominee documentary Orphans of
the Genocide, directed by Bared Maronian, a four time regional Emmy
Award winner, will take place during Toronto's Pomegranate Film
Festival at 3:00 PM on Sunday, November 10, 2013. The Sara Corning
Centre for Genocide Education will have the honour of introducing the
documentary.
The film's description reads, "[This] Emmy-award nominee documentary
commemorates the memory of the orphans of the Armenian genocide. The
film took inspiration from an article by Robert Fisk about the
discovery of the Armenian orphanage in Antoura, near Beirut,
Lebanon. The orphanage was intended to 'turkify' the orphans, based on
the agenda of Ahmad Jamal Pasha. Maronian also provides a window into
the lives of Canada's Georgetown Boys. Maronian's short film Komitas
Hairig was presented at POM V."
