Armenian Genocide Survivors Fleeing Turkey (1919)

Rare footage of Armenians escaping Turkey soon after the end of the Armenian Genocide. The original film is held by the Library of Congress in Washington D.C., but a laboratory in Bologna digitally restored it in 2015 from a nitrate-positive print. Due to the production date, this footage is in the public domain and uploaded here to increase accessibility. Original Title: Armenia The Cradle of Humanity, Under the Shadow of Mount Ararat Year: 1919-1923 Fondazione Cineteca di Bologna at the L’Immagine Ritrovata
