The contraposition of the 'map of death' against the 'map of salvation that is the foundation of the storyline of this movie, works excellently, I believe. It's powerful, it's extremely convincing and it's a must-see piece of documentary for any human being with consciousness. As a memorial to the one-hundredth anniversary of the Armenian genocide committed by Ottoman Turkey in 1915, under the cover of World War One, I believe it is one of the best documentaries in recent years on this subject. However, it goes further than that. It is a powerful research into humanism and the power of the human soul.

The documentary "Map of Salvation" is a powerful and profound work that not only highlights the horrors of the Armenian genocide organized by the Turks, but also tells about the people who, risking their lives, saved thousands of innocents. The film is not just a historical narrative, but personal stories of women missionaries who showed humanity and compassion at the time of the greatest tragedy.

The directors managed to create an atmosphere imbued with deep emotions, which allows the viewer not only to see, but also to feel the horror of the genocide. Archival materials and modern interviews are organically intertwined, creating a complete immersion in the events of that time. The attention to detail, personal letters and diaries of the heroines are striking, which reveal to us not only the terrible pages of history, but also the strength of the human spirit.

"Map of Salvation" reminds us how important it is to remember the lessons of the past in order to prevent the repetition of tragedies in the future. This film is a tribute to the victims of genocide and those who fought for their lives. It is breathtaking to watch and provokes deep reflection on good, evil and the power of human compassion.
