WHAT WILL BECOME OF US

By Stephanie Ayanian

Their struggle speaks to the many immigrant communities who have experienced trauma. 100 years ago, Armenians were nearly annihilated by genocide. Today, often unrecognized, it remains defining – while the long shadow of the Genocide creates a burden for young Armenian Americans, discouraging them from taking up their culture. What Will Become of Us follows six Armenian Americans – famous and otherwise – as they navigate the 100th Anniversary of the Genocide and strive to forge identities for the next 100 years. Can Armenian Americans create a new future – honoring their past, while unshackling themselves from its trauma? Directors: Stephanie Ayanian and Joe Myers. Writers: Greg Feinberg and Mary McDermott. Producer: Stephanie Ayanian. Cinematographer: Joe Myers. Alexis Alexanian
