Free Screening & Panel: Intent to Destroy
On Armenian Genocide Commemoration Day, join us for a free screening and panel discussion on achieving justice in the aftermath of atrocity. In the Hot Docs hit Intent to Destroy, documentary legend Joe Berlinger immerses himself on the film set of Terry George’s epic The Promise (starring Christian Bale), the first mainstream film about the 1915 Armenian Genocide.
Using this behind the scenes experience to explore the history and reality of the massacre, Berlinger exposes the tangled web of responsibility that has driven a century of denial by the Turkish government and its allies. Unflinching and timely, this film-within-a-film lays bare the plight of a people, both past and present, still seeking acknowledgement.
Presented by the Mosaic Institute and The Zoryan Institute
A panel discussion on "Who Defines Justice?" will follow the screening.
