Join us online for a conversation with filmmaker Gary Gananian, historian Dr. Heitor Loureiro, and co-producer Armen Karaoghlanian to discuss living history as it applies to Armenian resilience, tracing the threads of time through their newly released documentary The Peace Of All. This event will be held in collaboration with the Armenian Film Society.
The Peace Of All is a feature documentary about the history of Nagorno Karabakh, also known as Artsakh, its people and their fight for survival in their historical lands. Covering the Armenian Genocide, the end of the Ottoman Empire, the fall of the Soviet Union up to the 2020 conflict that changed the region's geography, the film captures the different layers of this conflictual story. Amidst the geopolitics associated with Artsakh, certain themes stand out, such as - human rights of originary peoples, the effects of war, crimes against humanity and the impunity of the perpetrators.
