    First of all this is not for children, as there are violent scenes, with dead bodies... It is an Incredible movie. The lead actor was mesmerizing. While this is about the Armenians genocide, it is important to understand the connection between this genocide and the Holocaust. The Germans and Turks were allies in WWI. The German-Nazis apparently learned that genocide is a profitable business and decided to implement it on the Jews in WWII (with the help of the Palestinian leader Haj amin al Hussani, who also served in the Ottoman army) It is important to learn about the Armenian genocide, to honor the victims and also to understand how this opened the door to the worst genocide of all times. While the Armenian genocide was more random, the Holocaust was planned and systematic. What I liked about the movie was the element of surprise when the genocide erupted, the scenery and unexpected ending.
