John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter 10/10/2017
Architects of Denial has done, in some ways, the very thing it is rightly angry at others for doing: It has opened the door to doubt. Go to Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 10/05/2017

08/01/2020 A must-see for anyone who values and isn't afraid of the truth. See more 03/13/2019 Should be shown in ALL high school and college classrooms. Do not miss this. See more 06/17/2018 What a great and heart breaking film. Shame on those in our government who are so lacking courage to call it what it was "Genocide" See more 10/16/2017 What an incredible documentary! Wow See more 10/15/2017 This is an incredibly powerful film that candidly and unapologetically depicts not only the barbaric actions of the Turks during the Armenian Genocide in 1915 but also the ongoing genocide of the Azeri Turks against the Armenians in modern day Nagorno Karabagh. The film explores the direct connection between the denial of the Armenian Genocide by the Turkish Government (and the refusal of the US government to recognize it as Genocide) on the commission of countless genocides against other ethnicities throughout the world including the Jewish Holocaust and the Genocide in Rwanda, among others. A very important film indeed, made thoughtfully and with a great deal of heart. See more 10/10/2017 Wow. I was not in the mood to see this but my gf wanted to go so I went. But man, I'm glad I did. What an incredible film. Some parts were extremely frustrating but it's definitely a story that needs to be told. Really well done, would highly suggest it. See more Read all reviews
