"A Story of People in War & Peace"
directed by Vardan Hovhannisyan. (Armenia) – U.S. Premiere

A deeply personal meditation on the horrors of war and its effects is shown
through the eyes of Armenian journalist Vardan Hovhannisyan. Weaving
together footage he shot during his country’s 1994 conflict with neighboring
Azerbaijan over the Nagorno Karabakh region, Hovhannisyan creates a
devastating portrait of lasting damage inflicted by the battlefield. In
English and Russian.

“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
