'Lest They Perish' Near East Foundation

This short film is the genesis for a full length documentary about Near East Relief now in production. Watch this space for more details.
"Lest They Perish" was produced for the Near East Foundation to promote the legacy of N.E.R. (Near East Relief), a humanitarian organization created to save the lives of Armenians and other Ottoman Christians in the aftermath of WWI.

Ironically, the video is not only about Armenians but also about America and Americans during that period.
After watching the clip I wondered, “Whatever happened to the gentle, caring, and benevolent America of yesteryears to become the bellicose nation of today?”
