      A must see historical documentary.

      In this amazingly narrated, written, directed, and produced documentary you get an eye opening glimpse into a dark and astonishingly evil time in history. With a stories told by survivors and historians, wrapped together with historical clips, some that I have never seen before, and animation, you get reliable knowledge of a time that many have tried to conceal and deny. The production in this documentary is beyond big screen worthy, and keeps you at the edge of your seat wondering how such an event is not taught about in schools and acknowledged world wide! Very informative and something everyone needs to see.

      A Must See Documentary!!

      This documentary brings to light a tragic genocide that has been silenced and unrecognized for too long. Survivors share their personal stories of the crimes committed against them and their families by the Ottoman Turks. There isn't enough information out there about the Assyrian, Armenian, and Greek genocide but this documentary reveals accurate historical facts about what happened. Watching this documentary made me emotional but also eager to learn more. I had goosebumps through out the entire thing. I had to keep pausing to take notes and rewatching different scenes because I was truly blown away by the information I learned. I highly recommend this film to everyone to watch, it is definitely a must see! Thank you for creating this film and sharing the truth of a genocide that has been kept secret for far to long!!

      Awakening Justice

      The Greek genocide perpetuated by the Ottoman Turks in the early 1900 has not been acknowledged and this documentary has challenged us to remember and demand Justice for those that succumbed to unbearable cruelty inflicted by other human beings. This tragedy happened then and continues to this day to the Kurd's living in Turkey. Where is the outrage? This documentary has awaken the cry for Justice.

      Compelling film about a little known subject

      Bill Kurtis does an excellent job presenting this little-known but very important subject. Most people know about the Holocaust, the Cambodian killing fields, Rwanda, Darfur, etc. But many have yet to hear about what happened to the Greeks, Armenians, and Assyrians a century ago.

      Although it covers events from a 100 years ago, it really provides a timely and valuable perspective on what's happening today, especially as Turkey again appears to be engaged in ethnic cleansing in the Middle East and the Caucasus.
