/PanARMENIAN.Net/ A unique documentary about the Armenian genocide will soon be released by PBS’ Frontline titled “A Family Erased”, George Kachadorian, the film director, told PanARMENIAN.Net.
“The film features my father and his sisters who recently made a journey back to historic Armenia – now Eastern Turkey – in search of the homes our family fled around the turn of the century. As my family winds their way through mountain passes far, far off the tourist track, they rely on hand drawn Armenian maps, handed down through the generations, and the help of a Turkish speaking guide to try and locate the streets and towns that have long since been renamed.
As international tensions flare over a new U.S. bill that would formally acknowledge the Armenian Genocide, my father Jim and my aunts Elaine, Marion and Georgiana embark on the adventure of a lifetime – deep into the mountains of Eastern Anatolia on a search for their grandparents’ homes at the epicenter of the 20th century’s first genocide,” Kachadorian said.
