Review of The Promise (2017) by Marisa A — 22 Apr 2017
Many people are unaware of the Armenian Genocide, an atrocity that occurred from 1914-17.
My dear grandparents and their families, went through unimaginable sufferings; they were approx 8 years old when their homes were burned, their parents killed and they were forced to flee. I have detailed personal interviews and accounts of their stories.
Over the years this atrocity received little press, for political reasons. FINALLY we have a film, now in theaters, that tells the story. If you could find it in your heart to see THE PROMISE in a theater, during the next several weeks, it would mean alot on so many levels.
Regarding current reviews: A group that deny the genocide occurred gave the film negative reviews PRIOR to the film coming out...trying to sabotage it.
If any of you are interested in learning more, let me know. I have a summary document I transcribed, from an oral interview given by my grandma. Her story alone could be a film.
