So there’s a new film coming out this weekend starring Christian Bale and Oscar Isaac which is amazing in and of itself, since they’re phenomenal actors. They’re in the film called The Promise, a film that depicts the Ottoman Empire and the Armenian Genocide. 

To this day, the genocide is still actively denied by the Turkish government when it did indeed occur. Because of this, the film has a really low rating as people are actively trying to get people to not know the truth of that the genocide occurred. I am not Armenian but my people (Assyrians) were killed, as well as Greeks during this time.

Please go see the film, if you can. Its really important to many of us considering denial has a huge effect on inter-generational communities. Plus it looks like its going to be good.

As someone who is Armenian and whose grandfather survived the Genocide, I second this urging of people to see it, especially on opening weekend. Please don’t believe the ratings, as there has been a major push to downvote the film by those who want history to go unremembered.
