KEEPING THE PROMISE AT MT. DAVIDSON CROSS & KZV ARMENIAN SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA

KEEPING THE PROMISE AT MT. DAVIDSON CROSS & KZV ARMENIAN SCHOOL IN SAN FRANCISCO, CA

“MERAN VOR APRINK” is a video presentation performed by the SF Ballet Dancers choreographed by Davit Karapetyan commemorating the Armenian Genocide, which is also know as the forgotten genocide of the 20th Century. Neither it’s perpetrator, which is Turkey, nor the world’s greatest superpower, the United States has accepted the word Genocide as associated to the Armenian Genocide of 1915 according to Director Terry George  (The Promise). To accept the “G” word would be to admit blame and accept consequences. It is to the benefit of Turkey, which is a strong alley to the United States, not to admit, states George in an interview with Charlie Rose. Therefore it is not mentioned in the history books. However, it is a reality and passed down through oral history to the living people of the Armenians. This oral history is now a powerful movie, The Promise. The Promise which is written & directed by award winning director Terri George is led by a talented and distinguished cast: Oscar Issac, Christian Bale, Charlotte Le Bon, Angle Sarafyan, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Jean Reno and James Cromwell. This international cast came together for the purpose of shooting The Promise. The Promise, the movie, was produced by, now deceased, Kirk Kerkorian, media and real-estate mogul also an Armenian.
