Ravished Armenia 1919

[YouTube] Only a fragment of this film remains, edited in 2009 with explanatory subtitles and some introductions. Although the images are of poor quality, it's a powerful depiction of a then unknown genocide, so its very existence is important. Recovered by the documentary "Aurora's sunrise" (Inna Sahakyan, 2022), which tells the story of Aurora Mardiganian, on whose life the 1919 film is based, it acquires greater significance not only as a compendium of the atrocities committed against the Armenian people.
