Please share. We are thrilled to announce The Promise was acquired by Netflix for streaming starting 8/8. Thank you ALL for your support & we know it will now raise even more awareness. Thanks to the unparalleled generosity of our dear friend & mentor Kirk Kerkorian, our team

specifically made this film & our historical documentary counterpart, Intent To Destroy, to get US legislators to recognize the Armenian Genocide once & for all. We accomplished that mission thanks to all of you & our social impact campaign. No amount of denial by human rights

abusers or minions will undo that fact. We donated all of the downstream revenue from the films - & ongoing/unpublicized orders of magnitude beyond that - to charitable organizations in education, healthcare, science, human rights, social services, culture & more in the US,

Armenia & around the 🌎 In addition to congressional recognition, we aimed to build visual museums & to use the films as a starting point in response to decades of disinformation/cover up. We’ve also partnered with the @USCShoahFdn to help people learn more through

accompanying study guides/links. I’ve been blessed w/the best friends who worked tirelessly on these films & so many of you out there did your part! @thepromisefilm was made w/its various elements, storylines & scenes with a tactical approach that worked for our goals.

With Intent To Destroy, we created a complementary film to dig deeper into the facts & we were honored to receive an Outstanding Historical Documentary Emmy nomination. Some may prefer to see a more graphic depiction or a different style. We wish them well on their own efforts to

make a transformational impact for the Armenian people. The truth & the depths of the denial/geopolitics is much more horrifying than most will ever know. Watch Intent To Destroy & the picture will become more clear. No amount of recognition/reparations can completely heal the

scars. Entire libraries of films & books will not suffice. These were not just movies for us…they were the beginning of a movement & I am just getting started. #Wearestillhere & we are not going anywhere #KeepThePromise to #NeverForget #ArmeniaStrong 💪🏼✊🏼🙏🏼❤️🔥
