‘Amerikatsi’ Writer, Director Goorjian to Participate in Q&A in Boston on October 1

“Amerikatsi,” is a beautiful, potent, cathartic, masterful film and tugs at the heart with a message of tremendous spirit, hope, and resilience, and a celebration of Armenia’s deep-rooted culture. It follows Charlie (Goorjian), a survivor of the Armenian Genocide, as he returns to his Armenian homeland during the repatriation of the 1940’s with the hopes of finding a connection to his roots, but what he finds instead is a country crushed under Soviet rule. Filled with warmth and humor, it celebrates the human spirit and the bonds that unite us all.
