XX century Never before has the world changed so much, never seen so devastating wars, under the cover of which even more terrible crimes were committed. A new word appears in the dictionary – “Genocide”. The term was coined in 1944 by Polish lawyer Rafael Lemkin. The real basis for this definition was the extermination of the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire. From 1877 to 1923, according to various estimates, from 1 to 1.5 million Armenians became victims of genocide. What's next? No conclusions have been drawn from this... And where did all this lead? close

This film covers the story of the making of this controversial film, its stunning success, its hysterical opposition along with its dark side of mob influence and allegations of the on set mistreatment of the film's star. close
