‘Amerikatsi’

Charlie (Michael A. Goorjian) fled the Armenian Genocide and lived in the United States for many years. When he repatriates himself to Armenia in 1947 to learn more about his culture, he is imprisoned by the brutal Soviet occupiers. Charlie’s only link to the outside world is a view from his cell into the home on an Armenian couple.
