Aurora's Sunrise: Animation on Armenian Genocide Wins MiradasDoc Festival

With her highly acclaimed Armenian animated film Aurora's Sunrise, Inna Sahakyan was able to secure the top Jury Award for best documentary at the MiradasDoc Festival. The Armenian, German, and Lithuanian co-production, directed by Sahakyan, is based on the true story of Aurora, a survivor of the 1915 Armenian Genocide who lost her family, escaped enslavement, and subsequently had to deal with Hollywood's ruthless publicity after she becomes the face of a massive humanitarian campaign. Meanwhile, a corrupt political conspiracy tries to silence her.
