Aghet Film Screening at USF- This Tuesday!

Dear Friends,

Please join the USF Masters of Arts in International Studies Program and the Bay Area ANC at the film screening of Aghet: A Genocide on Tuesday, April 17, 2012 at 5:00 pm in the Berman Room, Fromm Hall at the University of San Francisco campus located at 2130 Fulton Street in San Francisco.

Aghet: A Genocide is a powerful documentary which debuted on German public television (NDR) in April, 2010, depicting the annihilation of 1.5 million Armenians from 1915-1923 and the effects of the Turkish Government's international campaign of genocide denial on international policy. Award-winning director Eric Friedler assembles an impeccable cast, who bring to life the original texts of German and U.S. diplomatic dispatches and eyewitness accounts, interspersed with never-before-seen footage of the Genocide and its political aftermath. The film, applauded by Nobel Prize laureate Gunter Grass, has sparked debate throughout Europe. It is now being showcased around the world on television, and in major film festivals.

This event is free and open to the public.
