This is the research behind the historical drama presented in documentary form. It is very helpful in understanding the who's, why's and where's that were depicted in the film. A favourite of mine at the September 2016 festival.
It includes many in depth moments with the film maker and many deeply personal moments (direct to camera) from the films actors of Armenian heritage and its Caucasian stars Christian Bale and James Cromwell portraying American witnesses to the actual events in 1915.
Important viewing for us who want more information about the history of this troubled region and time.
I expect it to part of a bonus material when "The Promise (2016)" is released on disc.
I was at the 3rd screening at Hot Docs 2017 and unfortunately was unable to participate in a Q&A as the film makers had left.
I would very much like people that saw a screening with a Q&A to post a review together with some details of the exchanges with the film makers.
