The River Ran Red

Storyline

The River Ran Red, part of The Witnesses Trilogy, is a 60 minute documentary about the epic search for survivors of the Armenian Genocide of 1915. Using eyewitness testimonies, the filmmaker, himself a survivor, weaves a story of terrifying intensity, from the highland waters of the Euphrates to the burning deserts of Syria, to the final resting place of those who died in and around the river.
