Please read & share. The impact of @thepromisefilm has been magnified thanks to streaming in the U.S. on @netflix 🙏🏼 Once you have streamed the film, the platform may show a preview - Make sure to click back on the screen right away so you can hear the Grammy-nominated, anthemic

title song by our dear friend...the legendary @chriscornell ... Leaders in the human rights & Armenian advocacy communities successfully used the film as a tool to fortify their ongoing efforts to secure #ArmenianGenocide recognition in Congress. Thanks to all of you out

there, now the film is being used to teach more people than ever before about the atrocities committed against the #Armenian, #Greek & #Assyrian populations by the Ottoman Empire. The film is just a starting point & we encourage you to read the facts from reliable sources like

@USCShoahFdn & @facinghistory & watch our documentary “Intent To Destroy” to see the perspectives of top historians, scholars, artists & activists like Taner Akcam, Peter Balakian, Fatima Muge Gocek @paulboghossian Atom Egoyan, @ericbogosian @serjtankian Terry George @MikeMedavoy

Ambassador @EvansinAmerica & many more. We could never have imagined that a song written about this subject would have such a transformational influence. Chris Cornell donated all of the proceeds from his song to the @RESCUEorg to support refugees & children. People who had never

heard about these historical facts were finally introduced to them thanks to Chris’ poetic words, incomparable voice & global impact. As fans, we owe him for sharing his talent with us. As Armenians, we owe him for sharing our story. As a global community, we owe him for sharing

his humanity. As friends, we owe him for being himself around us & for brightening our lives. We miss him every day ❤️
