This first person account of genocide through the eyes of survivors includes interviews with experts who graphically illustrate the real connection between historical denial and present-day mass exterminations in conflict zones around the world.

John DeFore

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

A frank look at the horrors of the Armenian genocide as well as the modern-day persecution of Armenians by forces in Turkey and its ally, Azerbaijan.

Village Voice

By uniting the measured voices of human rights advocates and impassioned pleas from the Armenian diaspora, the filmmakers lay out the importance of a few words in the long quest for justice.

Budd Wilkins

Film Journal International

David Lee George's documentary offers a stark and compelling, if occasionally muddled, testament to the Armenian genocide and its ongoing geopolitical repercussions.

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"

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.

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.
