The University of South California (USC) will host the screening of the film The Other Side of Home, from Armenian filmmaker Naré Mkrtchyan.
According to her, the film discloses “a universal story of identity, denial, and how the experience of genocide creates a ripple effect for future generations on both sides,” Massis Post reports.
The film follows the story of a Turkish woman named Maya, who discovers that her great grandmother was a survivor of the Armenian Genocide. Two conflicting identities struggle in her: one that suffers and the other that denies the happening. The Other Side of Home is a documentary that tells about Maya’s trip to Armenia to take part in the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.
Naré Mkrtchyan lives in Los Angeles, CA. She graduated from the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts.
