PanARMENIAN.Net - Writer, co-producer Kay Mouradian will screen her new documentary My Mother’s Voice on Thursday, June 20, 2013, at the Glendale Central Library Auditorium.

The program is sponsored by the Library, Arts & Culture Department.

My Mother’s Voice was premiered at the Pomegranate Film Festival in Toronto last October, and received Honorable Mention for best documentary. It was also screened at the ARPA film festival in Los Angeles last year.

The film recounts a particularly tragic period of history during World War I. The story is about Flora Munushian (Kay’s mother), a fourteen years old teenager from Hadjin, who lost her family to the Armenian Genocide in 1915, and found her way to America, to marry a man she knew only from a photograph (Kay’s father). “I am my mother’s voice,” says Mouradian, “and this is her story.”
