Editorial Reviews

In 301 A.D., Armenia became the first nation to adopt Christianity. Commemorating this anniversary 1,700 years later, The Armenians: A Story of Survival, tells the tale of these fascinating and tenacious people. This compelling documentary explores the journey and struggle of the Armenian people - from their humble beginnings near the Middle East through their Christian conversion in 301, their near elimination during the first Genocide of the 20th century to the birth of the Armenian nation. Shot in twelve countries and narrated by Olympia Dukakis, The Armenians includes interviews with Nobel Prize laureate Elie Wiesel, author Dr. Robert J. Lifton (The Nazi Doctors), the Head of the Armenian Church Catholicos Karekin II, and the President of Armenia Robert Kocharian. That along with never before seen footage of the Armenians in 1915 and Soviet Armenia makes this documentary a momentus piece on Armenian history. This DVD contains over 20 minutes of bonus footage and interviews not seen in the broadcast.

This review is from: The Armenians: A Story of Survival - The Award Winning Public Television Documentary by Emmy Award Winner Andrew Goldberg (DVD)

The Armenians: A Story of Survival is a good introduction to the people and their struggle to survive. Narrated by Olympia Dukakis, this documentary is a fine companion to The Armenian Genocide produced by Two Cats Productions.
