YEREVAN, APRIL 12, ARMENPRESS: A new film produced by The Genocide
Education Project (GenEd) was released this month for use in schools.

The 12 minute documentary, “The Armenian Journey: From Despair to
Hope in Rhode Island” tells the story of Armenian Genocide survivor
Margaret Garabedian Der Manuelian, told through the narrative voice
of her great-granddaughter, 21 year old Dalita Getzoyan, reports
Armenpress citing Asbarez.The film was funded by a grant from the Rhode
Island Council for the Humanities and designed to support educators
in the region. The film will be accompanied by a resource guide for
teachers to build a classroom assignment connected to the film. In
May, GenEd will conduct teacher-training workshops on the Armenian
Genocide and how to incorporate the film in their instruction.”The
Armenian Journey: From Despair to Hope in Rhode Island,” traces
Der Manuelian’s testimony of survival of the Armenian Genocide and
arrival in Rhode Island. The film also provides an introduction to the
history of the Armenian Genocide and illuminates the impact of genocide
denial on future generations. Getzoyan who is also an educator, said,
“Capturing my grandmother’s testimony in this manner will help to
ensure the victims of the Armenian Genocide are remembered. I believe
this is what my grandmother would have wanted.”
