`Orphans of the Genocide' gets nominated for an Emmy
On October 18, 2010 The Suncoast Chapter of the National Academy of
Television Arts and Sciences nominates the seven minute version of
`Orphans of the Genocide' for an Emmy Award in the category of
Historical Documentary.
`Orphans of the Genocide` is an 18 minute documentary produced by
the Armenoid Team about the untold story of over 130,000 Armenian
children left parentless as a direct result of the Armenian Genocide
perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire during WWI. These orphans were saved
and documented
by the United States Congress commissioned, Near East Relief
organization.
`Our Emmy nomination is great news, it will generate more
confidence in our next phase of production', says Bedo Der-Bedrossian,
one of the producers of `Orphans of the Genocide'. Currently, the
Armenoid Team is working on expanding this 18 minute documentary to a
one hour film. `We have interviewed orphans and their families and
have lined up a number of experts and scholars in this field for
interviews`, adds co-producer Paul Andonian.
For the production of the one hour version, The Armenoid Team has
widened its scope of research and coverage beyond United States and has
explored the international arena for fact finding missions. In Canada
the team documented and filmed the designation ceremony of the
`Georgetown Boys' farmhouse into a historical sight in Ontario,
Canada this past June.
`Georgetown Boys' is a group of Armenian orphans brought to Canada
in early Twenties and given shelter. `We just returned from filming
three crucial locales in the Middle East where Armenian genocide orphans
were housed. One of them is the Antoura Orphanage where 1,000 armenian
orphans were being turkified under direct orders from the commander of
the 4th Ottoman Army, Djemal Pasha, who appointed Halideh Edib Adivar,
the most prominent feminist of the Ottoman Empire as the directress of
this turkification center ', concludes the director of the documentary
and founder of the Armenoid Team, Bared Maronian.
