The story

In the documentary an Armenian orphanage located at Antoura, Beirut, Lebanon was unveiled, where thousands of Armenian genocide orphans had lived and were forcefully "Turkified" during World War I. Interviews of software engineer and historian Maurice Kelechian, Almast Boghossian, Jack Kevorkian, British journalist Robert Fisk, and Debórah Dwork are included in the film. Almast Poghosyan, 105, tells the story of how she was orphaned, how she walked to Deir Ezzor, then ended up with an Arab family, then in an orphanage in Aleppo, and finally settled in the United States.
