PanARMENIAN.Net – Indian filmmaker Shekhar Kapur says he might shoot a
movie on the Armenian Genocide.

“Going to Yerevan (capital of Armenia). Is there an Armenian community
in India? Going to Armenia to study massacre of Armenians in 1915 and
perhaps make a film on it later,” Kapur tweeted, according to
zeenews.india.com.

Shekhar Kapur is a globally-recognised film director, media visionary
and proponent on the future of New Media. Having started his career as
an accountant, management consultant and economist in London, he
returned to India in search of a new direction and went on to become a
well-known actor, director, writer and producer. He is best known for
films, such as Elizabeth the Golden Age, Bandit Queen and Four
Feathers, that have won or been nominated for numerous awards
including the Oscars, BAFTAs and Filmfare Awards.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
