In 1979, at the peak of the Lebanese Civil War, a young Armenian girl's life in a small village becomes forever linked to a group of 1915 genocide survivors. Synopsis In her debut feature length documentary ANJAR: FLOWERS, GOATS AND HEROES, filmmaker Noura Kevorkian takes the audience on a journey back to her country Lebanon, to her childhood village Anjar, to Musa Dagh Turkey and to the former Ottoman Empire in a century of epic stories and histories of wars, genocides, battles, miracles and triumphs. The film travels through time periods, geographic locations, memories and nightmares with an impressionistic lyricism and poetic imagery that tells the story of the trials and tribulations of human sufferings, survivals and perseverance. The backdrop to the film ANJAR: FLOWERS, GOATS AND HEROES is the history of the people of Musa Dagh - one of only three groups of Armenians who collectively survived the 1915 genocide. The film is told through the eyes of the filmmaker as an eight-year-old girl growing up in Lebanon during the Civil War of 1975 to 1990, representing the shared experiences of all the Lebanese children as they cope with the horrors of the Civil War; and the story of the elders of her village Anjar who fought for their lives and survived the Armenian Genocide of 1915 in which more than one million Armenians were systematically annihilated by orders of the Ottoman Turkish government. ANJAR: FLOWERS, GOATS AND HEROES sets out to preserve the interviews and testimonies of the last few remaining survivors of a genocide; to celebrate the heroism of the people of Musa Dagh and the resilience of the people of Lebanon.
