During World War I the Ottoman Empire carried out one of the largest genocides in the world's history, killing huge portions of its minority Armenian population. In the end more than a million Armenians had been put to death by execution or by deliberate exposure and starvation. This film is the complete story of the Armenian genocide. It describes what happened before, during and since World War I and features interviews with scholars Peter Balakian, Samantha Power, Ron Suny, Taner Akcam, Halil Berktay and Israel Charney. Using archival film and photographs and interviews with historians and scholars, examines the destruction of over a million Armenians at the hands of the Ottoman Turks and the Turkish government's repeated repudiation of the word 'genocide'.
