Amerikatsi

Amerikatsi is the heart-wrenching story of Charlie, a repatriate from the USA who survived the Armenian Genocide only to be imprisoned by Stalin’s regime upon his return to Armenia in 1948. Against all odds, Charlie manages to preserve his faith in future and his culture by vicariously following a young couple whom he observes from his prison cell. This morbidly funny drama is an ode to the human need for belonging and a moving exposé of one of the bleakest chapters in 20th century history.
