Aghet is a powerful documentary, depicting the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1923 and the effects of the Turkish government’s international campaign of genocide denial. The film highlights the Turkish authorities’ current policy of those crimes.
Award-winning director Eric Friedler assembles an impeccable cast, who bring to life the original text of German and U.S. diplomatic dispatches and eyewitness accounts, interspersed with never-before-seen footage of the Genocide and its political aftermath. The 2010 film, applauded by Nobel Prize laureate Gunter Grass, has sparked debate throughout Europe. The 90-minute is now being showcased around the world on television, and in major film festivals.
Recently Aghet received Adolf Grimme award in information and culture category.
