    Peter Musurlian at work in Western Armenia

    GLENDALE--The 100km Tribute organizing team has announced that award
    winning documentarian Peter Musurlian will be producing a short
    movie about the walkers, bicyclists, and motorcycle riders who will
    be honoring the martyrs of the Armenian Genocide on Thanksgiving
    weekend through a 100km tribute.

    Musurlian will cross paths with the Tribute's participants as they
    walk through the San Gabriel Mountains on trails and fire roads,
    ride through the San Fernando Valley, Hollywood, East Los Angeles,
    and finally arrive at the Armenian Genocide Martyrs Monument in
    Montebello's Bicknell Park.

    Peter is a USC journalism-school alumnus, currently working
    at The Burbank Channel, who has racked up an impressive set of
    accomplishments. He has reported from or worked in 20 states and 14
    countries (from Central America to Africa and the Armenian Plateau).

    Over the course of his career, he has often worked solo and under
    difficult conditions such as hiking the hinterlands of Turkish occupied
    Armenia, reporting on Burbank's sister city in Botswana, or exposing
    an unscrupulous politician's actions. His prolific productions have
    led to seven Los Angeles Area Emmy nominations, 14 RTNA Golden Mike
    Awards, and a Los Angeles Area Emmy.

    "We asked Peter to come aboard as the 100km Tribute's documentarian
    because he's very good at presenting important issues in a clear and
    understandable way," explained Yolanda Davidian, lead coordinator of
    the Tribute. "We're sure that our walking and riding to pay homage
    to the tremendous suffering of our ancestors will come through in a
    meaningful and interesting story as told by our participants."

    The documentary will be sent to various outlets in the hope of showing
    it around the time of the April 2015 Genocide centennial.

    Anyone interested in participating or following developments about the
    Tribute is encouraged to visit 100kmtribute.com or check on Facebook.
