The Promise
14 April 2020
We do not like to appeal with absolute concepts. We hold on to our everyday life, work, dissolve in daily worries. We respond to serious questions while running with cynicism, indifference and the attitude of "none of my business".

But here is the movie. About something major. About the naive. Because the concepts of justice and humanity seem in our time to be naive. Two hours of immersion in a dark room in eternal questions.

The documentary film tells about the Armenian Genocide, about history, about denial, about the short memory and cyclical nature of history, about justice, about how important and necessary it is for millions of people. Those people who are denied the right to acknowledge their tragedy, and the victims sew their wounds in genetic codes and pass on to their descendants.

One victim is tragedy, millions are statistics. Wrestlers, activists, directors who, despite threats, go to the end, carry a high flag, do not bow their heads - they delight. You admire them, you want to follow them, they inspire you to raise your flag higher.
