Please join us for a special screening of what HuffPost’s Thom Senzee called, ‘Most Anticipated Documentary Film of 2020,’ the multi-award-winning ‘Motherland,’ presented by the Knights of Vartan.
Written, produced, and directed by filmmaker, journalist, and activist, Vic Gerami, ‘Motherland’ is a journalistic investigative documentary feature film about Azerbaijan’s, Turkey’s unprovoked genocidal attack on Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) in 2020 and the massacre of 5,000+ people, and the two nations’ ongoing campaign of hate, violence, and disinformation against the indigenous Armenians.
The Cast of ‘Motherland’ includes seven (7) leading members of Congress, which makes this a unique film and the screening in the nation’s capital a vital milestone.

Bob Mendez (D–NJ), Congressman Frank Pallone Jr. (D-NJ), Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA), Congressman Brad Sherman (D-CA), Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA), and Baroness Caroline Cox, among others.
