Intent to Destroy

USA2017documentary115'Opowieści ze świata (2017)

We are on the set of The Promise by Terry George, an American independent super production on the Armenian Genocide. Over the time, the film changes into a fascinating essay in which the comments made by historians and the accounts of the last witnesses and their descendants provide us with an insight into the tragic events of 1915 – 1917. Above all, we can discover how big politics nowadays bends and distorts history in the name of short-term goals.
