On the eve of World War I, the formerly vast Turkish Empire was on the verge of collapse.
Fate of the Greek Empire, Minority Assyrians and Armenians, divided in balance.
Siroun, Southern Turkey 1914.
Our village is in a high place in the mountains of Southern Turkey.
That's half Turkish, half Armenian.
I am a pharmacist there.
For 200 years the monks made medicines.
Using a formula derived from our ancestors.
Good.
We treat everyone equally, both Muslim and Christian, Rich and Poor.
Every morning and night.
I'm proud of our expertise.
But making herbs and minerals is not enough.
My biggest desire is to study medicine.
At the Imperial School in Constantinople.
But I have never been able to pay the fees.
Finally I decided to get engaged to the Maral.
And Mas Married to pay for my school.
Here you are. Want tea?
Thank you.
Can I ask?
Will you really do this?
We will build a future together, Maral and me.
And we will grow to love each other.
And you will be proud of us.
Give this letter to your uncle Mesrob.
He is an important person in Constantinople,
But he never forgot his origin.
He will take good care of you.
I will make you proud, Dad.
The Boghosian will bring Modern Medicines to Siroun.
Always remember, God has given you this Mission.
May He Bless and Protect You.
Oh hey. what's up today, huh?
The best wine, the best food
And... a perfect sitting friend...
Thank you for your generosity, Harut.
Karine, which is it. thanks.
400 gold coins approval.
The future of my daughter and my trust in you.
It's really worth it. You won't regret it, sir.
It usually takes 3 years to become a doctor,
But I know that it can only be completed in two years.
This will be fast, why Maral.
Pretty long.
I will pray for you every day.
Thank you.
Oh
I want to go to the Grand Bazaar.
No, I'm sorry. No, thank you.
Ah, my friend.
Prices here are better. No, no, I-
Prices are cheaper here. I want to go there.
The Armenian dog will blackmail you.
Just go back to selling you, Den.
How come I always try to steal my customers.
Please. What can I sell today ??
Are you Mr. Boghosian Mesrob?
Mesrob Boghosian, yeah right...
What is a bill? No no, no.

Is that your note?
Yes.

It's time to dance.
Yes! We dance every morning in front of the class.
This is the release of the soul from here, to the extremities,
Hands, brain, legs.
This is spiritual and also medicine. Ah!
Why don't you join us? No.
Come on, cousin Michael. Dance with me.
This is amazing! Right, do you want to dance with me?
Let's slow down for Cousin Michael.
So, throw your hand into the wind.
Now dancing through the forest.

Through flower fields.
Now sweep it into your arms.
Weapons.
And throw it into the sky.
Yes!
He-he is very kind. She's a very good dancer. OK.
See you later. Bye!
This includes treatment.
The deceased died of colon cancer.

Please remove the spleen.
Very good...

Sir.
I'm very happy to be able to meet when I'm not teaching. Yes, really surprising.
Chris is a star reporter for the Press Association We met in Paris when my father became the Consul's Deputy.
- His father is a spy. - Oh.
That is why you are a good drinking friend. you want to expose us.
Cheers. For old and new friends.
-Repeat. -Beat.
What brings you here, Chris? War question?
- The star reporter comes east. - War has come east.
-This place is very boring. -Correct. I know the right place.
Absinthe makes the heart grow sharper.
Oh!
No.
Bravo!
Dance with me. Please. Come on.
I can't dance. I will teach you.
Oh no.
Poor Michael.
He needs help.
Let's exchange.
Oh, hello.
Just continue.
How are you doing? I thought, I was being attacked.
I think so too.
Bravo.
Oh, good night, huh? Yes.
Sunday is my birthday.
My family held a party for me at the Ciragan Palace.
You have to join me and save me from my father and guests. Please.
Okay. Yeah.
Well, thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you.
And thank you.
You made me feel at home alone. Thank you very much.
Thank you. Good night. Good morning!
Michael!
You came too.
Happy Birthday. Thank you.
You look really amazing. Why, thank you.
Please join. That's my father.
He is fanatical. I will spend your time on introductions. Follow me.
Hello everyone, this is my friend and a Mentor, Michael Boghosian.
Nice to meet you. Ah, this is Ana. Alone.
Chris seems to have left me. Forgive me. Stupid man.
Want champagne? Just water, please
Hello, Ana. Hello, Michael.
Everything, Ana Khesarian. Hello.
Glad to meet all of you.
Ah, I heard the French accent.
I have lived in Paris for a number of years, but I am proud to be an Armenian.
This is a glorious day, General.
We have Armada waiting to welcome your ship.
Do you want to escape from Germany for a while?
Yes, I thought I'd like it. Let's take a walk.
I sketched for several Paris Magazines and American Newspapers.
You are lucky to be able to travel around the world.
My mother died when I was 10 years old.
So after that, my father took me throughout Europe with him.
He plays for the Emperor, for Queen Victoria.
Oh He is amazing.
And then, um...
And then he insisted that I stay in Paris to attend La Sorbonne.
And I do.
But, um...
That is a big mistake.
Why?
Because he killed himself.
He is drowning in debt--
And I don't know.
If it wasn't for Chris, I would have lost my senses.
I'm sorry.
Oh, God, what is that?
Chris!
Where have you been? Just walk.
Ah. You look beautiful.
Thank you. Do you see that?
Do you see? Germany-- German warships.
Yes. Gifts from the Turkish Navy.
Perfect - Perfect. A very right gift...
From Teutonic... friend
For the Turkish Navy.
Turkey has the right to have a strong Navy.
The empire needs to protect its borders.
The Ottoman Empire wants its borders to stretch-
From the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean,
And what is this flock -
These Germans want your Sultan to announce the Holy War immediately against the Unbelievers -
English, French and Russian?
Hmm?
Lower your voice Mr. Myers. This is not Paris.
This is certainly not Paris. I am sorry. Yes, you must apologize.
Well, maybe Berlin This starts to look very much like Berlin.
Gentlemen, let's celebrate this big day.
- Chris. You are drunk.
Armenians don't sing? Oh that's right. You are a Gentile.
You will be the first person to leave when war breaks out.
Chris, please. Ana!
I can reduce my anger better.
But the Germans, I can't stand their arrogant nature.
Arogan them?
You insult me. You insult my friend.
I'm sick of your drunk behavior.
I can't stand it anymore. I will stop drinking.
I, I've heard it before.
No. This time I promise.
Please sit down.
I'm sorry.
You want to want...
Find the root and start from the beginning.
I understand. I support that.
I like what you do. I like your illustrations. They praise my work.
I like that we are partners.
We have something very special.
Never give up on it.
Turkey enters war, October 29, 1914.
There. Line up Line up there.
There. Through this way? Everyone must line up.
Hey, Armenians, will teach you how to fight and die now.
Line up in line. There are no exceptions.
Everyone marches. You! Line up!
-Next. -Everyone is in line!
Emre Ogan, Unfortunately, I have to accept the release of Medical Students.
Next.
Hello. Good afternoon.
-Boghosian from Siroun? -Yes. Yes.
You have been assigned to the Third Military Division.
-Uh, I'm a Medical Student. -Continue?
I want to apply for the release of Medical Students.
You're not Turkish. Armenians must register in their hometown.
Um, I can't go back.
I'm sorry, I can't. - Officer!
Mr. Boghosian is a Medical Student.
His family is loyal and good friend of my father Ogan Pasha.
He will really appreciate it.
Sure.
Thank you.
Thank you, My friend.
I really thought that I would join the army.
-Where do you want to go? -There is something bad happening around Konia.
I need an investigation there.
Listen. This is very dangerous for Armenians today.
When I come back later, I will bring you an American Visa.
I want to take you away from here. No.
What do you mean, no?
No. I will not pack and run away in the beginning of the sign of trouble.
If it's not safe for me, then it's not safe for my people.
Ana, this time is different. I stay here.
Yes?
Yes.
Yes, I will go there. Yes, I'm leaving now.
I have to go.
-We will discuss this when I return. -OK.
Ana, you, uh...
Take care of yourself.
You're careful.
Yes.
Emre.
Come here.
Father.
Dr. Nazim. Salaam alaikum. Wa'alaikum salaam.
It has become my concern that you use my name.
To get the liberation of an Armenian.
He is my friend, father, who is also entitled to release.
I might... Armenian-
Is a tumor in our center, Emre.
Do you understand?
Tumor, yes.
Are you really taking this Military release?
Yes, father.
I need to learn how to identify tumors so I can serve as well as possible.
Do you agree, Doctor?
Hmm.
Good night.
Ana! Ana! Ana! Ana!
Ana! Ana!
Ohh!
Thank you.
Can I?
There is chocolate on your face.
Oh Yes.
-No already exist? -Yes. -Thank you.
Um, I want to say.
Uh, Father Komidas will sing in the Cathedral on Sunday.
He is a good friend, and my father accompanied him many times.
Will you attend with me ??
Yes.
Sure. I really want it. Great.
Thank you.
- Good night. -Good night.
Ana good woman, Michael.
Yes.
Yes, Chris is a very lucky man.
Mmm, Lena told me about things that are not good.
Between him and the American.
You know, if a woman is talking.
That can't happen Uncle. Why not?
He loves you very much. That is clear.
I was engaged to a girl in Siroun.
-I got engaged? -Yes.
The name is Maral.
I use money from our Married Mas for my study here.
An Engagement.
My father aka your grandfather, is a cruel person.
He arranged me with a Witch.
He tortures me every day.
In a barren desert. Praise God, he died.
Then I found Lena, a good woman from our Province.
How many dowry is this?
400 Gold Coins.
I've used it 100.
You just give it back.
All 400, and 200 more to alleviate their problems.
Money is not a problem, I will give you money.
I've made an agreement.
I... can't return it, Uncle.
Hello!
We must leave this place immediately, sir!
Hey!
We can't be here. We have to go. This is a forbidden place.
Wait!
Come on fast.
We must leave immediately. Come on!
Wait! Go there. Over there.
No, no Go through that road.
Stop the car! We can't stop!
Stop! Stop the car! Stop the car! Exit!

Give me the key.
This. Room no.12.
Bring him. Thank you.
I will send an anointing medicine, hot water. Thank you.
They burned the shop.
My Lord.
Let me see.
Oh
Sorry.
Did you throw cabbage earlier?
and some potatoes.
They can go make soup.
Sorry.
Where do you want to go?
I have to go back to the hotel.
Well, you can't go alone. It's still not safe.
No, no. I'm more comfortable alone.
I need to solve the problem with Chris.
I come with you.
A small child tries to pull him up,
And while lying on the dirt road, a Turkish Cavalry rode -
Come to approach him...
With one shot.
Write! Write it!
Good morning.
Here you are, Madame Mistress. Thank you.
Wait.
-Oh, God. -What?
This is from Lena. He is in trouble. Where are you?
What are you doing here? Where did you go last night with this jerk?
Please calm down. Enough!
Listen to me. Mesrob has been arrested.
Lena is now alone with her daughter. We have to go there right now.
-Mr. Myers, New York is waiting. -Ana.
-We have to go, Chris! -Ana!
Mr. Myers, New York. We will lose the connection.
Armenians are being slaughtered in their village.
Their women and children are taken to the desert to be killed!
Send it!
Lena? Lena?
Michael.
Michael?
What happened? Oh, Michael.
They carry Mesrobas. Who brought it?
State security has taken him to Nad Sikedji Prison.
They said he was being investigated for treason.
Good.
Wait here.
Can you go home?
Oh, Yeva.
Those people said that he was an Armenian traitor.
That's not true Yeva. Your father is a good person.
I will go talk to Emre. He will help us remove Mesrobas.
I will bring your father home. Do not worry.
Michael.
Mesrob Boghosian? Yes.
Good luck.
Good.
Father Komidas?
You come with me. I want you to show your uncle.
You wait here.
He. He is my uncle.
What? What is this?
What's this? Please.
Sir, I want release.
Emre.
I warned you... You will join the army today.
The captain will take you to Barakmu.
I don't want to look at you until you return the honor to the family name.
Sir. Sir, please. I want release.
Involves mass arrests of intellectuals, bankers and priests.
That seems to be an effort -
To detain and silence the Armenian population.
Please enter. Yes.
Ambassador Morgenthau, can I come back to you when I have more news?
Please sit down.
Thank you.
Chris, this is Lena, his wife Mesrob.
They have nowhere to go.
Join me.
Nice to meet you. Sorry.
Please sit down. Make yourself comfortable.
Thank you
Let me find a lap for your face.
Excuse me.
GUNUNG TAURUS, TURKI. 6 months later.
Replace its position.
Wake up!
Help me. Please.
Don't let me die.
Come on, come on.
You have to thank me.
I reduce your burden.
Thanking me.
I said...
Thank me.
Thank you.
He is better off dead.
We all die better.
We don't want to wait longer.
Another month, winter will arrive and we will freeze in these mountains.
They need us for this train.
No, that's not it.
They will kill us. I know.
-How do you know? -Do you see this?
This is a bullet. Still nesting.
After I checked, it bounced on my cheek.
I was in Battalion building the Drizi road.
And when we were finished, they fired machine guns.
Blood everywhere.
Some of us survived,
Escape the body to the abyss.
Let me see this.
If we find something sharp and some threads, I can get this out.
No, no. This is my lucky sign.
Are you a doctor? Medical student.
I am a Clown...
A Circus arena.
I used to make children laugh.
This is dynamite slamming. Beware.
Thank you.
-Shoot him! -Thank you.
Rain!
Water!
Water! Water!
Friends! Water!
Come out here!
Hello? Who is that?
Please help me out!
Hello! Yes! Open the door.
-Save us! Help us! -Please.
-I can't breathe! -I beg you! I beg you!
Save us! Help us!
Are you Armenian? I am Armenian.
Please, help us! Please!
Come on, come on...
These are our children.
Do you see them? They are compulsory in Tarsus.
No, I'm sorry.
Tarsus is near? Yes.
My A from Siroun. Do you know?
I know.
May God bless you both.
Food, please...
Wake up! Wake up, you traitors!
Build a Traitor!
Good news!
Our Victory Army has successfully repelled Britain back to the sea.
And Russian dogs have fled in search of safety each.
Get ready, Armenians. We will find you a new homeland.
Who are you? We don't have anything here.
Mama.
Oh God. Thank you God.
Papa.
Thank you, God. Thank you.
All youths are gone.
Our business is all gone.
We don't have anything else.
Praise God, at least we have you.
I--
I can't live here.
They will kill us all, if they find me.
Where do you want to go?
I don't know.
I don't know. Rest, son.
Michael.
Oh!
I'm not a ghost.
Michael, thank God you're still alive.
Harut has the answer. As soon as I told him, he got the answer.
Dress and he will explain it. Come on.
Is he healthy enough?
Come on. Please sit.
Hello.
-Maral. -Michael.
Look, this is my plan.
I have lodging for my woodworker.
On a very high hill. No one has ever gone there. You will be safe there.
We must immediately make preparations.
Maral will prepare everything you need.
Vartan and I will bring the Pastor.
Pastor?
Yes. Oh, we have to hold a wedding at Pondok tomorrow.
It's too dangerous for you to go to church.
Tonight you can go to the hill.
My prayer has been answered.
You have to be outside this war, and make babies.
Oh, praise God that you have been saved.
What's wrong?
In Constantinople I fell in love with someone.
I can't do this. I can't marry Maral.
You must marry Maral.
Whatever happens, consider it your other life.
You told me that you would grow up loving Maral,
And you must, my son.
You must.
Ah. Here it is...
Please enter.
Everything you need for your quiet life.
I will bring you supplies every week.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Peace be with. thanks.
Tell me about Constantinople.
Is that amazing as people say.
There are churches and mosques...
You won't believe it.
The best models from Paris and London.
At the Grand Bazaar, you can buy whatever you want,
Starting from Camels to Crowns.
Are you happy there?
There... It's different life.
Protestant Christian Mission. Southern Turkey.
Can we help you?
-Pastor Merril? -Yes, who are you?
I'm Christopher Myers from the Press Association.
I have a correspondence from our embassy.
And I bring money from the Church Aid Fund.
May God Bless You.
Heaven for you. May god bless you.
Hello. Welcome. Welcome.
Dozens of Orphans come every week.
Most of them just saw their parents killed before their eyes.
This whole country is a grave.
There are swollen corpses that pollute the river.
Dead bodies rot in the desert.
I was told that you are arranging an escape route for the Orphans.
Who said that? I want to go with them.
This is a hard effort. It should be noted for their offspring.
A group of orphans went to Bassek Harbor a few days ago.
When the guide returns, you can go with the next group.
Thank you.
Lena doesn't want to come with us.
Why?
He can't stay without Mesrob.
He wants to live in Siroun with the Michael Family.
I want to bring it there.
I need to go and talk with his family. Must.
Will you come with me?
Sure.
Thank you.
My eyes are getting worse, Marta.
Bullshit.
You look pretty good when calculating your money.
Use your best glasses.
Who is that?
Who? Lena.
Lena Boghosian.
Lena. Please come in.
Enter it. Oh
Oh, Vartan. Lena.
Close the door.
This is your Uncle Vartan.
-Who are you? -Oh, they're my best friends. Those who saved us. Oh, thank God.
Mesrob has been deported to Chankiri.
They take our homes, everything.
And then they come and...
We are good friends of your son Michael from people who are Constantinople.
Michael is dead.
-Oh. -I am sorry to hear it.
There are spies everywhere.
You foreigners, can bring us problems.
-Marta, please. -They took care of us, Marta.
No, it's okay. We have to go.
He's a very good person. I am really, really sorry.
Lena with her family now.
We will look after him and his daughters.
Ana.
- May God Bless You, Ana. - Ana.
Are you okay?
I think, I contain a child.
Mmm. Oh.
Deputy Governor.
Welcome.
Orders from Istanbul have no exceptions.
You must immediately evacuate orphans.
Who are you? I'm Christopher Myers. I'm from Press Association.
Ah, yes, Mr. Myers.
I have been told that you are in my District and you will be detained and deported.
I have all official documents from the Sultan's Office
And from the American embassy.
Mr. Myers.
I suggest you leave this place.
I have done everything I can, Pastor.
Please follow my advice.
Thank you, Deputy Governor.
I risked my life here, Mr. Myers.
I don't want my words to be exposed.
I promise. I will never reveal the source.
You need to bring the kids out of here, Pastor.
Who is that? Mama, it's me.
Michael.
Why are you here? What is wrong?
He is sick.
Let's open this wet shirt.
We have to drive him to bed. Come on.
This is a very difficult pregnancy.
He needs better food.
He needs Calcium, Iron.
Maybe after he breaks, we can--
Michael?
Lena?
Oh God. Lena?
Oh...
I... I think...
oh oh oh, is your daughter here?
Yes.
Yes? And Mesrob?
They still hold it back.
Wha-- how-- How can you come here?
Ana and Chris who took us.
Ana here?
Yes.
I told them if you were dead.
-Why? -You can't trust anyone.
-Where are you now? -Michael, you must leave immediately before sunrise.
They are in the American Mission in Moodan.
Missionaries there have an escape route to bring Orphans abroad.
They will go with them soon.
Ana wants us to leave, but I won't leave here without my Mesrob.
Blur? How?
By boat. From Bassek, I guess.
Michael,
Seeing you live has given me hope.
That my Mesrob will also survive.
Yeva is restless.
I have to go. Michael.
I have to find it. Michael.
Leave these people. You're safe in the forest.
No, no, I'm not safe.
Nobody is safe here. Don't you see what happened?
We have passed this Turkish threat before.
This is not - "threat"? They want us to die.
I have to get us out of here while there is time left.
Trust me. Everything will be alright.
I will get us out of here.
When will you come back?
As soon as possible.
As soon as possible? Very soon.
My parents will take care of you until I return.
Don't worry
Good.
Almost complete.
Close your eyes.
1...
2...
Ana.
Thank you. I can't believe you're here.
Lena told me that you were going to the sea,
And you have a way out of this country.
Yes.
Ana, I need your help.
My family...
In Siroun, I want to bring it out too.
Sure. Yes.
I have a wife.
When we meet in Constantinople,
I was engaged to a girl in my village.
And when I return home,
We are married.
I'm sorry, Ana.
Michael is still alive.
I know.
He wants us to help -
His wife and family ran away from here.
We must help them.
And after that, he will leave, and we will never see him again.
Here it is.
- Goodbye. - Bye.
Mr. Myers, when you arrive at Bassek, find Pastor Antreassian.
He will arrange the boat for you,
And tell him that we will be with the Orphans as soon as possible.
Thank you. You are a brave person
Thank you.
May God Bless You. And take care of them.
Hyah!
We have approached Siroun.
We will find a place to rest while I will pick up my family.
Here it is.
Oh, God, you are very heavy.
- May I eat bread? - Oh yeah, me too.
Thank you, Ana. Thank you, Ana.
I suspect your wife doesn't know anything about Ana.
What?
How do you want to introduce it?
Why?
Will you report it?
Is this what you do? Do you feed the pain and misery of others?
Without reporters,
Armenians will disappear, and no one knows.
How beautiful it is.
To return to the comfort of your American home, and write about it.
Huh? What was that before? What is going on?
Ana?
Mustafa, prepare the Donkey.
-Ana, raise them. We must leave immediately. -Everything goes up.
Hold my hand. Come on!
Everything on the train right now. Fast!
Mira, help me, please.
That's our horse. Oh, God.
Papa!
Papa.
No!
Michael.
Mama.
Oh Oh, thank God.
Yeva?
Run!
Michael!
Run!
Good.
Go!
Ana! Mustafa!
Oh God!
We have to go now! Please! - Ana!
- I came. - Go, go! We must go!
Chris!

Hyah!
That's it! Spin!
Americans! American journalist!

I will get off the horse. Don't shoot
This.

Mama? Mama.
Mama!
This is over. It is over. Ana...
Shh.
Ok?
Mama.
Michael, please tell me. Where is Lena?
They are all gone.
They killed him all.
Mr. Myers.
I'm Faruk Pasha, Commander of this area.
Does the press have anything to do here? Myers?
Uh, War reporter.
There is no war here.
Only evacuate civilians to safer areas.
Hmm.
Armenian Courageous Partisans from Van.
Performing heroic resistance against the Turkish Division,
Cause many casualties.
Reporting that is hardly objective.
This is my favorite.
Turkish officials.
Unshakable humans! And dare,
Tell us that Faruk Pasha--
A General who is famous for Barbarism -
The Supreme Authority has been instructed not to allow the village. "
Are these words false,
Or the words of some Turkish traitors are false?
I will confirm that he gave you this information and freed you.
Uh--
No.
You are not a journalist.
You are a foreign agent.
You insist there is war here? That's good.
Under the Military war code.
-I must execute you! -No do not!
Don't! Do not! Do not! To execute you -
Don't! Do not! As a foreign agent and his accomplice!
Oh
Now,
Am I Barbarism... Or have mercy?
Take him!
Whoa.
-Who are you guys? -We run from Siroun on our way to Bassek.
This is Bassek.
There is nothing left in the village.
We were told to find Pastor Antreassian,
He will arrange a Ship for these Orphans.
There are no boats. The turbine has destroyed everything.
-Who are you? -I am Mayor of Bassek.
A cruel person is taking us to the desert.
You will find the Antreassian Pastor behind there.
Excuse me. Pastor Antreassian?
Behind.
Pastor Antreassian?
Hello. We are from the American Humanitarian Mission.
Hello. We were told to meet you at Bassek.
Where do you want to go? I do not know.
Faruk Pasha sent an order that we be evacuated to Aleppo.
Mayor Stepan announces that we will not obey Turkey.
We have brought Orphans with us.
You have to come with us. We will take care of you.
Um, there is an American Reporter, Chris Myers.
Do you see it? No.
No, I didn't meet Americans at all.
Oh
Thank you very much for your help.
Constantinople Selimeye Military Barracks.
Emre.
I am happy to see you.
You are in a very serious problem, Chris.
Mmm.
They will eliminate you.
I need your help, Emre.
I need to convey the news to the American Ambassador. He can definitely stop this.
Help?
I'm wearing this silly uniform because I'm trying to help Michael.
Now you ask me to commit treason?
I-- listen to Chris.
They are willing to offer you an agreement.
You sign it,
You will stay alive, Chris.
You will be jailed, but your Government will get you out.
The world knows that you're not a spy.
If I sign this confession -
This destroys everything I've written,
My reputation, my future-
The future?
What future?
Trust me, my friend. If you don't want to sign this, your future will end tonight!
Nobody knows you're here.
Nobody knows you died here.
You're the one who knows.
Hey.
Listen to me.
Turkey will immediately punish us.
Join us and fight them, or you leave here now.
Fight them? With what?
With whatever weapons we have.
With our pebbles, rocks and empty hands.
I will not walk into the desert.
To starve or die of thirst.
We have brought enough food to reach Aleppo.
You won't succeed. You will be killed along the way.
Who are you really spreading rumors like that?
Right now...
Outside Siroun...
You will find the bodies of all Armenians from my village.
Rotting in the river.
All men, women and children, line up from their homes.
Taken there and slaughtered, everything.
My father.
My wife.
Ditusuk, in gorok.
Our unborn child is torn from her mother's womb.
You don't trust me?
Hmm?
Go.
Go and search for yourself.
Follow the carcasses and the smell.
You hear this person.
He talks the truth.
We will not walk like sheep to be slaughtered.
We will take refuge in Musa Dagh.
And if Turkey doesn't leave us in peace,
We will fight them with all the stones.
Let's go!
Michael.
I am sorry.
We need preparation.
Interior Ministry of Constantinople.
Ambassador Morgenthau, I apologize for the delay.
- What's the problem? -I have reason to believe, Talaat Pasha,
That your military will execute an American citizen.
We have caught spies. He is indeed an American.
Christopher Myers.
Both of our countries have the same punishment for spying during the war, right?
The United States does not fight with Turkey.
Myers attacks our people, and he has conspired with traitors.
Bullshit. He is a world-famous journalist.
She's eye.
And he has used his Journalism to destroy the Ottoman Empire.
and its soldiers all over the world.
With engineering about the relocation of Armenians.
Minister, you use the term relocation as a closing -
For systematic annihilation of Armenians.
Christopher Myers has reported this anger to the world.
That's why you want to silence it.
Ambassador, you are a Jew.
Why are you so concerned about these Armenian Christians?
I am a Jew and I am American.
Many Americans are running away from persecution,
And they were surprised by what was happening here.
Now, I make an official request.
That you are to free Christopher Myers, and I have to remind you.
That all damage happened to him-
Will be considered an act of aggression against the United States.
Good afternoon, sir.
One thing, Ambassador.
New York Life Insurance Company -
And life is evenly distributed in New York for years -
Doing business big enough among Armenians.
I hope you can contact this American Life Insurance Company -
To send a complete list of Armenian Policy Holders.
They almost die now, and they don't leave the heirs to collect the money.
Everything will of course move to the state.
The government is only a recipient now.
You will never get a list like that from me.
Good.
This is where we will build our tent.
This will be the best tent from the existing camp.
Who will help me?
-I am! -I!
Yes! Me! Let's start!
We only have a few weapons.
Don't take it unless you know how to use it properly.
-You can shoot? -Yes.
Are you the one he loves in Constantinople?
He says, he loves you.
But I told him to marry Maral.
You are experts in this matter.
Do you remember the French song that we learned?
Yes! Yes? Let's sing!
Who will lead?
I, me, me! Hmm.
Mira.
#BabaNaheel
Come on.
Road! I want to talk to this man.
I thought I was taken to an unmarked grave. What is this?
You are deported to Malta.
How do you know I was arrested?
There is someone who contacted the Embassy.
Thank you.
I have a question.
Can you contact Pastor Antreassian at Bassek.
And find out if Ana Kasparian and the Orphans Group arrived safely?
I will do my best. Good luck for you.
Thank you, sir.
Sir.
Lieutenant.
Wait a minute.
Read that, Lieutenant Ogan, with your normal voice.
I have important information.
Reporter Chris Myers is being held at Army Headquarters.
He will-- He will be executed. "
They are here. -Take people together.
Hand over your weapons.
Give up, or we will kill all of you.
All we ask is to live peacefully here.
Don't shoot! Hold it down
Hold a shot!
Hold on line!
-Shoot him! -Well!
Aaah!
Retreat! Back off!
Press here. The hard one. As hard as you can.
I found this tool for you.
Give them a sign of emergency, please. And I need more alcohol.
Take this and boil it. 15 minutes. OK.
Turkish troops will come back as soon as possible.
Tomorrow at dawn, we will rise even higher.
Everything that can't be carried,
Just wasted.
Livestock, carts.
If you can't bring it, just burn it!
Here it is.
Aaah.
This. I make tea for you.
Thank you.
I can't do it.
I can't pull the trigger.
Pasha. Armenians attacked us.
There are hundreds of armed Armenians, well armed, with snipers positioned.
They seem to retreat. So then--
Enough!
Mobilize the Third Division and Artillery only!
French Ship Fleet. Malta.
Admiral. Admiral Fournet?
I am Christopher Myers from the Press Association.
I was told that you plan to investigate the suffering of Armenians.
On the coast of Turkey.
That is prohibited information.
Will you allow me to sail with you?
Why do I have to do that?
If you want the United States to join this war,
American society needs to know first what the enemy is doing-
And what you do to fight them.
Everything, find a place to camp.
Thank you.
Marta, I have Soup for you.
Marta?
Oh
Beloved God, Beloved son of yours Marta,
Who bears all with courage.
Bring Him into Your care...
With as much love as he gave us.
Amen.
We always argue.
We fight all the time.
He quarreled more often with me than with my father.
I think that's because we are the most similar.
My mother.
They are all gone now.
Yeva and I are all that is left of my family.
I know...
That won't bring any of them back,
But may God help me, I want revenge.
I don't care.
Hey.
Revenge is as long as we are alive.
Fast! Run! As soon as possible!
Everyone is down! Take care of your head!
Come on!
Mira, hide behind a rock!
- Oh! - Come on! Stay down!
- It's okay. You're fine.
Come here.
Priest, they say that Cannon will kill us all.
That's not true.
God will protect us right?
Let's pray together.
Dear God,
Bright all Goodness and Grace -
Please protect us when we need
And help us to survive these cruel times.
Maybe once again we need to sing Your Praise.
French warships have been steaming towards the beach.
Tomorrow I want the final attack.
Look! Look there!
Bonfire light. Take everyone to the beach.
Attack!
Calm down. In my order.
Road!
Heading to the beach! Everything is fast!
Admiral, I want to go there.
Fast, fast everything!
Bring children!
Do you see a group of children?
A group of orphans with Ana--
Ana!
-Chris? -Ana!
Oh, Chris!
-Oh, thank God! -Oh, God!
- Come on fast! - Where is Michael?
-He is behind us. -Hurry up, let's go!
Stay together. I will help again. Stay close to me.
-Chris. -Michael.
You live. Thank you God.
Are you used to helping?
People there.
Help them get off.
Thank you, Chris.
He is injured.
Michael!
Ana! Michael!
Do you-- do you see Chris? Yes.
Yes. He is coming down now.
I love you!
Let me help you.
Lift your legs.
This will help.
This. Put this
Good, you must continue this.
Raise your hand.
Please!
Help us! Handle!
Michael!
Ana! Ana! Michael!
Please!
Ana!
Please!
Ana!
Ah!
Yeva!
Please!
Where is Ana?
Michael.
Michael!
Where is he?
Michael.
There is nothing we can say at that time.
Both of us have lost the woman we love.
The French took us to a Camp in Egypt.
Chris arranged an Visa for me, Yeva and the Orphans.
We lost Chris in 1938.
He died while covering Civil War in Spain.
I adopted Yeva, and I was able to complete my Medical Study.
And I opened Practice in Watertown, Massachusetts.
After Japan attacks Pearl Harbor,
Yeva joins in the Women's Army Union
And he fell in love with to a young lieutenant.
And on his wedding day,
Orphans join in celebrating with us.
Cheers in Armenia?
May they return safely to us.
Cheers.
My love Yeva,
Tell me that his biggest desire -
Is his parents and dear Ana is here.
I told him I knew where they were.
For sure, they are here.
And all your parents...
And for all lost families....
In an effort to reject the removal of our Nation from the face of the earth.
But we are still here.
We will stay here.
Documentation.
September 12, 1915, the French Navy succeeded in rescuing 4000 An Armenians hiding in the Musa Dagh Mountains.
One and a half million people consisting of men, women, children are killed in the Armenian Genocide.
Until today the Turkish Government has refused to recognize this crime.
I see, world powers do intend to destroy this Race.
This is a small tribe of people who are not important, whose war has lost.
The building has been destroyed. The literature is unreadable, the music is never heard and the request is no longer answered.
Just continue destroying Armenia. Look, can you do it. Then see, don't they laugh, sing and pray again?
Because when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see, won't they create a new Armenia? (William Saroyan)
