Peace for Armenia: The Plot to Destroy the First Christian Nation

Overview

“Peace for Armenia” weaves together the stories of Christian Armenians living in the United States, Armenia, and Artsakh in the three nerve-racking months leading to the end of the 35-year-long conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Beginning in the U.S., the film examines the context in which Armenian-Americans have maintained their cultural identity following the Ottoman Empire's genocide of their people. Unfortunately, history appears to be repeating, as Azerbaijan, blockades 120,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh from receiving supplies essential to their survival. In the backdrop of a brewing war, the story is transported to Armenia through the main character, a second-generation Armenian-American who visits his homeland for the first time to connect with his roots and learn about the modern challenges faced by the nation.
