A tremendously powerful and utterly tragic depiction of the disheartening true life events surrounding the staggering attempt to exterminate Armenian Christians before and during WWI. Profound sadness and disbelief linger throughout the film because of the cruel and evil practices on display. Regretfully, until this movie I really had no idea these events even occurred. One and a half million Armenians wiped out. Cultist Muslim butchery and evil should be combated and moved to be exposed in any era. This film takes on that responsibility in a truly heartfelt and moving manner. Nothing is easy to watch as waves of tragedy assaults the senses. Hope is conveyed but when certain characters meet their demise it truly delivers shock, dismay and disgust. The film makers and remarkable cast deliver revolt and true emotion and do a remarkable job of telling this sad yet heroic struggle.
