My friends tell me it isn't that great, they also stated that the film has little to do with the Genocide. Have you seen it?

NO I havn't seen it,but I did watch an interview with her...and I deduced that it's basically a homemade documentary about how the genocide still affects Armenian girls lives today...I liked her,I also was amused at how she talks, ArmEnglish if you will...just like me :)

The genocide affects Armenian girls' lives today.

 

Armenian girls of today should be the 4th generation basically. The way I believe that it may affect them should be at least in two ways. As belonging to the nationality they would feel that it was demeaning to us as a nation to go through to all of that ordeal. The other is that if they feel somewhat strongly to their roots, depending on how they were brought up, not only a great deal of loss was committed against us but that to this date we as a nation we still have to try to prove ourselves that these atrocities and a Genocide actually and thruthfully was commited against us.

The Genocide in me is not a Swedish film - it's Canadian, made by Araz Artinian here in Montreal. I have seen it, and I think it's great. It's not a story about the Genocide, but more a personal account of growing up in diaspora with this kind of heavy cultural baggage.

 

In the movie she interviews several Genocide survivors - the interviews are fantastic. You can (hear) view some of them on the site: www.20voices.com which has been mentioned many times here on HF.
