the other side of home
Join us to watch The Other Side of Home the only Oscar shortlisted documentary about the Armenian Genocide. The film follows a Turkish woman who finds out she has Armenian heritage and comes to embody the conflict: with one side that suffers while the other side that denies. The Other Side of Home is a universal story of identity, denial and how the experience of genocide creates a ripple effect for generations on both sides. This film is a deeply personal journey directed by Nare Mkrtchyan, a grandchild of survivors of the Armenian Genocide and is produced by Oscar wining producer Rob Fried.
Together we will commemorate the events that took place in 1915, and share our feelings and thoughts in a safe environment at a time where past, present and future are intertwined together.
