Though both the historical and modern-day persecution of Armenians and other Christians is relatively uncovered in the mainstream media and not on the radar of many average Americans, it is a subject that has gotten far more attention in recent years. It was during and after World War I that the Ottoman Empire carried out the systematic mass murder of 1.5 million Christian Armenian citizens, but also 950,000 Greek and 750,000 Assyrian Christians.

Though both the historical and modern-day persecution of Armenians and other Christians is relatively uncovered in the mainstream media and not on the radar of many average Americans, it is a subject that has gotten far more attention in recent years. It was during and after World War I that the Ottoman Empire carried out the systematic mass murder of 1.5 million Christian Armenian citizens, but also 950,000 Greek and 750,000 Assyrian Christians. To this day, the Armenian people are persecuted in the Middle East for their beliefs - and many are kept from their true home. Turkey, which is the successor state to the Ottoman Empire, still denies the extent and the systematic nature of the atrocities and doesn't use the word genocide for these well-documented events. Other governments officially deny the Armenian Genocide as well because of political pressure by their ally Turkey. "Architects of Denial" not only digs into the persecution of Armenians and other Christians in the Middle East, both past and present, but it also sheds light on those politicians who refuse to acknowledge an event scholars accept as a sad reality and historical fact.

| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinGeorge combines a wide array of strong, if at times grisly, archival footage and photos with remarkable interviews with two centenarian survivors of the killings, plus moving commentary from many Armenians whose relatives perished in that first massacre and/or more recent conflicts across Azerbaijan. |
| Village VoiceSerena DonadoniBy uniting the measured voices of human rights advocates and impassioned pleas from the Armenian diaspora, they lay out the importance of a few words in the long quest for justice. |
| User ReviewLarisa BI just saw this documentary. It made me cry very hard. So much injustice in this world. I learned so much about the subject of genocide. I don't understand why we don't hear about any of this on the news. Amazing documentary! |
| User ReviewOlga%20 AIf you've never heard of Armenian genocide, you'd be shocked by the facts in this film. Get ready to hear heartbreaking truth from the survivors of 1915-1918 Armenia and 1988 Nagorno-Karabakh massacres. Not an easy movie, but a great one! |
| User Reviewmaria VThis documentary is very good. I saw it in Los Angeles. Montel Williams and Dean Cain are the executive producers. They did a great job at producing it. The people's stories that they presented are very powerful. One lady is 108 years old and she survived the genocide commented by Turks. Amazing story! |
| User ReviewJohnny kThis is the best documentary that I saw about the Armenian Genocide. I've seen a couple of them but none as good as this one. This documentary is even better then the movie The Promise. |
| User ReviewJames MArchitects of Denial is a must see, eye-opening documentary. It thoroughly investigates and exposes the massive, international cover-up behind the Armenian genocide through interviews with people who witnessed it, and the relatives of those who were killed. It draws a powerful connection between what happened a hundred years ago, and what is still happening today. I highly recommend it. |
| User ReviewAndrea OWow! Such an important film about a topic that doesn't always get enough attention. Really goes into the politics of the denial of the Armenian genocide and shows how it perpetuates violence since. Really interesting!! |
| User ReviewAnna Dits an important and concrete summary of what happened to the Armenian people not only in 1915 but what it happening today by the turkified azeris.. when they brainwashed the people who we know as turks (whose ansestors went through turkification) today into hating people who they are probably genteticaly related to the Armenians.. |
| User ReviewTodd FA Very insightful movie with a detailed account of the root causes. Most interesting are how they linked the genocide of Armenians from the Ottomans, to the Nazis, modern Turkey, Azerbaijan today and I even see the same fingerprints by ISIS and what they are doing. |
