5.0 out of 5 starsA bright side to a dark history.
June 10, 2017
This is, by far, the best documentary of the Armenian Genocide. It is handled well, with factual evidence and pertinent stories. A horrible crime on humanity and the Germans helped the Ottoman empire do it - only to learn from it - as the Jews suffered only a few decades later. This is an excellent look at the first genocide of the 20th century.

1.0 out of 5 starsMisconceptions, Deceit, and Factual Misrepresentation
May 31, 2008
Format: DVD
This documentary is a disgrace to history, not only does it distort history by immediately giving you the director's biased conclusion from the very beginning but it does nothing to promote history. It simply details stories of death that does not prove genocide: think about it, if I made a documentary on World War II and only put in videos of how American soldiers killed Germans, it would SEEM like as if America committed genocide---this is not scholarly work, you must present BOTH SIDES to be objective!

Even Western historians have condemned this documentary, because it is completely based on one single perspective, and the only objection they allow for the other side to make their case is about one sentence throughout the documentary.

In addition there are direct lies in the documentary. For example, they interviewed "witnesses" that they call "Turkish witnesses", but yet they are speaking KURDISH and are not Turkish. That was a direct lie that this documentary showed us. How dare they mislead the public using propaganda and deceit? Especially on such a controversial and debated history!

1.0 out of 5 starsnonsense
February 5, 2009
Format: DVD
Armenians, Jews, Kurdish and people from different cultures live in Turkey. Children and women are being killed in Gazze now by bombs. Hundred thousands of people have been killed in Bosnia.We have all seen movies made about the Nazis so what does it change? Nobody forgets anything but if you don't forgive mutually battles will never end. Armenians kidnapped and killed my grandfather's uncle torturing him when he was only a little child. During the First World War English used Greek, French used Armenians and Kurdish to colonise different parts of Turkey. Kurdish still kill Turkish people because they think the East and Southeast belongs to them.The Armenian terrorist group ASALA killed Turkish innocent people in the past.After ASALA vanished PKK came out. These are all planned agitations to weaken the Middle East(divide and rule). Plus millions of Armenians never lived in that region if you knew geography you would know why.If i were a history teacher i would watch the DVD before showing it to students and would prefer recent genocides still going on.Why was JFK,Martin Luther King assassinated?Native Americans have been killed now that they are almost in extinction.Why don't you mind your own business and do something for peace today instead of talking about the past?

1.0 out of 5 starsBiased propaganda buy
April 11, 2007
Format: DVD
The Armenian Genocide is a biased piece of propaganda, if you want a truly impartial view of the events buy and view "The Armenian Revolt" by Martin Callaghan an independent US producer it is much more professional and impartial in it's production.

What the Armenian Genocide does not tell you is that the Armenians started revolting and murdered over 500,000 thousand Turks to begin with. Further, the statistics used in the program are bogus. Even according to Armenian Sources there were not 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire during that period. Further, at the end of World War 1 the Ottoman Empire ceased to exist and the British controlled the former Ottoman Capital of Istanbul. They conducted a witch hunt, they arrested 144 Ottoman Officials of the leadership including the then eqivulant to the prime minister and conveyed them to their island colony of Malta. After two and a half years of exhuastive inquiries they could not find any evidence whatsoever to charge any of them let alone convict. All 144 Ottoman Officials were released and allowed to return home. Further the investigator Lord Curzon (well known for his hatred of Turks) asked the US Government of the day to provide any evidence they may have had in their possession. An answer came back that the US did not have any evidence with which to use against the Ottoman leadership.

What the Armenian Diaspora could not achieve via armed conflict and legal means is now trying to achieve politically and by using propaganda like this particular documentary. There is always two sides to every story and the Armenians will not allow the Turks to put theirs forward.

efe
1.0 out of 5 starsThe documentary presents a biased history...
November 30, 2006
Format: DVD
With the burden of ideological narration, this documentary does not provide an in depth look at the history. It does not provide a fair and unprejudiced look at the events since the interviews are manipulated and edited together with an biased flow, without a good balance of academia and historians involved. We cannot get the "facts" from different points of view.
"Goldberg's film presents a slanted historical account, according to some viewers who wrote into PBS stations and a scholar who participated in the panel discussion. If you only take one side and report their deaths, it seems like genocide. But of course it wasn't that, said Justin McCarthy, a professor of history at the University of Louisville. McCarthy, who acknowledges holding a minority view, believes Goldberg's film takes a selective snapshot of history and fails to address the deaths of many Turks at the hands of Armenian militants. "It was an inhuman, bestial time, he said. There were wide-scale, mutual massacres across eastern and other areas of (the Ottoman Empire) a mutual- extermination kind of war."

January 26, 2011
Format: DVD
Turkish government has been asking the western's society to release both sides archives about this issue but somehow western's society such as European Court Of Human Rights has been denying this requests for a long time. Until this request will be satisfy all the allegations are INCORRECT and LIE. I will be asking the public DO NOT consider any criticism from this documentary or any documentary that has been approved by Turkish Government or European Court Of Human Rights... Please read the following link...
