What happens

The Armenians: A Story of Survival is a 2001 PBS documentary film exploring the history of Armenians from the 4th century to the present. The movie was made to commemorate 1700 years since the Armenians established the first and earliest Christian nation to exist. The main focus of the documentary is how the Armenians have managed to survive, remember, and acknowledge their complex history. It was written and directed by Andrew Goldberg (who also directed The Armenian Genocide in 2006) and narrated by Olympia Dukakis. Goldberg interviewed various scholars, survivors, then-incumbent President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan, and the head of the Armenian Church, Catholicos Karekin II. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
