Dr. Raphael Lemkin created the word Genocide in describing what happened to the Armenians by the Turkish government. He was trying to bring attention to the Jewish people in Germany.
The movie was an exposure in what happened during World War I in Turkey to the Armenian people. It was tied in with a love story along with the brutality. Had it not been for the American press, the Danish and German missionaries who bravely documented the atrocities and helped the Armenians, no one would have known the extent of the carnage.
It was a great picture, and it went by quickly. The acting was realistic. Christian Bale did a realistic performance as the AP reporter.
