Aghet, Eric Friedler's documentary on Armenian Genocide screened in Berne

On April 13, Berne hosted the screening of Eric Friedler's Aghet: Ein Volkermord documentary on Armenian Genocide.

The screening was followed by a discussion with the participation of Dogan Akhanli, The Judges of the Last Judgment book author.

The 90-minute film brings the words of diplomats, engineers and missionaries to life, featuring an ensemble of 23 German actors narrating the original texts in simple interviews that derive their effectiveness from the selection of texts and the presentation rather than a dramatization of history.

The film will also be broadcast on one of Swiss TV channels.
