Award Winner to Document 100km Tribute
Glendale, CA - 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 the 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, 16
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 shopped to various outlets in the hope of
showing it around the time of the April 2015 Genocide centennial.

Tribute is encouraged to check on Facebook. The organizers may be
