AL JAZEERA TO AIR 'GRANDMA'S TATTOOS'
Armenian Weekly Staff

WASHINGTON (A.W.)-"Grandma's Tattoos," a Swedish production directed
by Suzanne Khardalian, will air on Al Jazeera English eight times
over the week of Jan. 11-18, occupying a 'prime time' slot in all
the key time zones.
Khardalian (R) in Der Zor "This is an extraordinary achievement for
the film," director Suzanne Khardalian told the Armenian Weekly. "The
film will have a huge exposure, and will reach countries that would
have been difficult to reach."
"Grandma's Tattoos" (2011), a 58-minute-long documentary, chronicles
Khardalian's quest to uncover the atrocities that scarred her
grandmother, a woman who bore "devilish marks"-tattoos on her face and
hands-that were the persistent reminders of a time in captivity and
rape during the Armenian Genocide. Much of her experiences remain a
mystery to her progeny, but the few tidbits Khardalian discovers years
after her grandmother's death are but a faint yet terrifying echo of
the hellish occurrences that haunted the survivors to the grave.
Witness, the Al Jazeera program that will feature "Grandma's Tattoos,"
screens award-winning documentaries that present realities often in
conflict or disaster stricken regions, from Nairobi to Palestine,
Japan to Somalia, Libya to Turkey.
Al Jazeera English is an international round-the-clock English
language news and current affairs TV channel headquartered in Doha,
Qatar. Launched in 2006, it reaches around a billion English speaking
viewers.
