‘Intent to Destroy’ - the powerful companion documentary to the Armenian Genocide era drama is nominated for a Best Historical Documentary Emmy award, Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA) tweeted.

“Joe Berlinger’s ‘Intent to Destroy’ is a tour-de-force documentary, powerfully presenting both the facts of the Armenian Genocide and the depths of Turkey’s ongoing international campaign of denial, artfully presented through the window of the making of blockbuster film, ‘The Promise,’”said Armenian National Committee of America Executive Director Aram Hamparian, who introduced the documentary at its Smithsonian Folklife Festival Washington debut in July, 2018.

Filmmaker Joe Berlinger meets with historians and scholars to discuss the Armenian Genocide by exploring the tangled web of responsibility that has driven a century of denial by the Turkish government and its strategic allies.
