The recent killing of Hrant Dink who appears in this documentary
20 January 2007
After the recent murder of the Turkish-Armenian journalist, Hrant Dink, who made an appearance in an interview in this documentary, I think more people should start seeing this film, which will further prove the point made in the documentary about the ongoing Genocide denial campaign in Turkey by prosecuting and eliminating outspoken intellectuals. He was shot dead on the 19th January 2007 for being outspoken about the Armenian Genocide on a number of occasions (which the Government perceives as insult of Turkishness under the Article 301), and the fact that he was murdered recently, may have something to do with his appearance in this recent documentary that had reached viewers and had made a statement on an international level.

Moreover, the documentary not only raises awareness of an overlooked/forgotten tragedy (The Armenian Genocide), it also raises awareness of present-day atrocities such as the Genocide in Darfur.
