The Promise (2016)
Set during the last days of the Ottoman Empire, at the brink of World War I, The Young Turks plan for the systematic elimination of the Armenian population. The first Genocide of the 20th century claimed the lives of 1.5 million Armenians. Which then led to the Greeks and Assyrians who suffered the same fate.
The movie wraps the historical Genocide with a love triangle between: Mikael Bogohsian (Oscar Issac), Ana Khesarian (Charlotte Le Bon) & Chris Myers (Christian Bale). The love story isn’t perfect, but I felt it was handled a lot better than other movies.
Despite the movie’s subject matter, it doesn’t resort to blood and gore, like The Passions of the Christ. The reason being, is the director Terry George, wanted to make a movie that could be shown in schools.
I recommend watching the movie, as it helps raise the awareness of this brutal act, on fellow human beings.

I’m curious about this one.
The NeoCons(NeoTrotskyites) have been cooperating with the Turks to turn the Mideast into chaos. Now the Hollywood types are portraying them as genocidal.
Prep for the big Gog-Magog switcheroo?
