The Other Side of Home

  • This event has passed.

As part of the City of Glendale’s Week of Remembrance – we are happy to present The Other Side of Home.

Synopsis: In 1915, an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed by the Ottoman Turks, in what historians call the first genocide of the 20th century. In 2015, a Turkish woman named Maya discovers that her great grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. Maya has two conflicting identities: one that suffers and the other that denies. The Other Side of Home is a universal story of identity, denial, and how the experience of genocide creates a ripple effect for future generations on both sides.
It is the only Armenian Genocide film shortlisted for Oscar.
