The final five nominees for the category will be announced Tuesday, January 24th.

“I’m so thankful that this film was chosen as one of the final ten candidates for an Academy Award. As a grandchild of survivors of the Armenian Genocide this means a lot to me.  In a way, it’s a confirmation that this topic which has been silenced for so long is universally understood, that it’s one worth telling, and one that audiences would like to sew”, Mkrtchyan said.

Conceived, directed and narrated by Mkrtchyan, the 40-minute documentary follows her on a trip Turkey in April, 2015, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
