THE OTHER SIDE OF HOME

In 1915 an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Turks. A Turkish woman, Maya, discovers that her great grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide.  She decides to go to Armenia to take part in the 100 year commemoration of the Genocide in an effort to come to terms with her conflicted identity.   The Other Side of Home is a universal story of identity, denial and how the experience of genocide creates a ripple effect for generations on both sides.
