American film to depict women's plight during Armenian Genocide
August 30, 2014 10:20
For many years now, American-Armenian writer, director and producer
Bared Maronian has used his talents in a variety of outlets,
especially in Florida public television. However, in the past few
years, he has decided to bring his skills in putting together
documentaries to a subject close to his heart, the Armenian Genocide,
The Armenian Mirror-Spectator reported. Now, Maronian is shooting a
documentary titled "Women of 1915."
Bared Maronian was with PBS for 21 years, and he has won four regional
Emmy awards for his PBS work. After the filming of the "Orphans of the
Genocide," which was released last year, Maronian is now focusing on
the women who were either victimized during the Genocide but also many
American and European women who came to the rescue of the Genocide
victims.
"Women of 1915," he explained, would be about "the plight of the
Armenian women and all the non-Armenian women who came to the rescue
of their sisters. Girls who were 19, 20, 21 left their plush homes in
Scandinavia, the US or Canada and volunteered to travel to Western
Armenia and the killing fields of the Genocide and met their Armenian
sisters," Bared Maronian said.
