People Power in Armenia Will Inspire Future Activists.
FREE AND FAIR ELECTIONS, RULE OF LAW, A CIVIL DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY... These are familiar in most countries, but in Armenia, many have lost hope of ever having them. The mission of this film is to show that there is hope for change if people want to get involved and make change. Change that is based on social and political justice, rule of law and participation by all. ANYONE and EVERYONE can become an activist - and in a democracy, everyone MUST be one. Only with activism can there be change.
Hours of interviews and street actions with Armenia's few dedicated activists were filmed in the summer of 2011. Here is a 5 minute introduction of the full film that has screened at the Toronto Pomegranate Film Festival, the Hollywood ARPA Film Festival and to many other audiences inside and outside of Armenia. Young people in Armenia are tech enabled, energetic and ready to act for democracy. Receiving this added encouragement and inspiration by viewing current activists in the movie is already creating future activists! The time is right for Armenian Activists Now!
