What is it like to return to your homeland, a century after genocide? For the first part of our Western Armenia series, we speak with Ani Hovannisian about her travels through Western Armenia, and about her most recent project. Ani is a director, producer, and filmmaker, who spent 7 years making the film, “The Hidden Map”. The film documents the journey of Ani, a granddaughter of genocide survivors, alongside Scottish explorer Steven Sim, who travel across Western Armenia discovering the hidden past of the Armenians who use to live there. The film will be shown over a thousand times all across the United States on your local PBS stations and affiliates in the month June 2022.
