LE FILS DU MARCHAND D'OLIVES

For their honeymoon, Anna and Mathieu went to Turkey. With camera in hand, they traced the footsteps of Garabed, the Armenian grand-father of Mathieu, who escaped the 1915 genocide.

Journeying through modern-day Turkey, this investigative documentary sets out to correct the historical record of the 1915 Armenian genocide. Through animated vignettes and harrowing archive imagery, The Son of the Olive Merchant delivers a powerful indictment of state-sponsored selective memory.
