Synopsis: “Peace for Armenia” weaves together the stories of Christian Armenians living in the United States, Armenia, and Artsakh in the three nerve-racking months leading to the end of the 35-year-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Beginning in the U.S., the film examines the context in which Armenian-Americans have maintained their cultural identity following the Ottoman Empire’s genocide of their people. Unfortunately, history appears to be repeating, as Azerbaijan, blockades 120,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh from receiving supplies essential to their survival. In the backdrop of a brewing war, the story is transported to Armenia through the main character, a second-generation Armenian-American who visits his homeland for the first time to connect with his roots and learn about the modern challenges faced by the nation.
Submitter Statement: The mission of “Peace for Armenia” is to inspire a deep understanding of Armenian history, culture, and resilience against the forces that seek to destroy them.
