Architects of Denial

If you don't know about Armenian Genocide, this is the fastest way to get a pretty good idea about it, so watch it. If you know about it, and you know it happened, then this will just bring up some memories and also some tears, so you choose. If you know about it, but you think it had never happened, then most likely you're from Azerbaijan or Turkey, and you have to watch this.

For more serious people interested in world history, this is a really good collection of facts expressed by famous as well as ordinary people who witnessed or who heard the stories from witnesses. One cannot remain indifferent while watching this film and imagining what really happened, what can still happen if people keep on caring only about money.

I live down the street and this was playing this week, so my wife and I saw it this weekend. Having known nothing about the subject before seeing this documentary, I found it extremely informative and makes the clear case that there was an Armenian Genocide, it laid the groundwork for the Jewish holocaust, and now there is a clear effort by US politicians to cover it up and ignore it. It's actually so effective that whenever a congressman is interviewed in the movie and they deny it, it's laughable because we now have been shown the truth and evidence. Julian Assange comes off very well as does George Clooney. Nice shots of an area of the world that people don't typically experience.

I have always known of the Armenian genocide of 1915, but not the extent of persistent hatred and persecution that they have had to endure for the past 100 years. It is not unimaginable to think that rogue nations such as Turkey or Azerbaijan are able to inflict such persecution without consequence, due to their geo-political and financial relevance to senior western nations.

This documentary does extremely well to show the despair on one side, anger on the other, and provoke the mind into sharing the grief of the unfortunate. A powerful showing that has moved all those I have recommended to see it. Well done Montell and Dean for crafting such a powerful message. I would love to see you apply your talent to message of the Assyrian genocide.

Well-made and informative, this documentary takes a deep look through untold stories and fascinating interviews with people like Julian Assange that give context to real histories that have been left out. The film-makers have done deep research and know meticulously their important subject matter. At a time when the Armenian Genocide is still denied for political gain, this is an extremely timely piece. I highly recommend it for all.

This is MUST WATCH documentary by any human being who cares or doesn't care about genocides, historians and politicians, educators and new learners, people of different age groups and races, and etc. The movie brilliantly shows parallel between several genocides including and not limited to Armenian Genocide 1915, Holocaust 1941-1945, and Armenian massacres in Azerbaijan in 1990.
