That being said, there were three amazing things about the film. First, the two child actresses are phenomenal. Bella Riza (Bea) and Carrie Mullan (Lucy) remain natural and true throughout the entire movie. I haven't seen child acting like this since Anna Paquin in The Piano.

The impact of historical trauma is transgenerational and grows with time if reconciliation does not occur. I am sick at heart; so are other Armenians throughout the global diaspora. Cure for this particular disease may never be possible. However, I believe the international community bears a moral obligation to identify and confront genocide, be it past or present. To this end, Turkey must first recognize the Armenian Genocide and accept responsibility for both the slaughter...
