On July 4, a film screening commemorating the 100th anniversary of Armenian cinema took place at the "Armavir" Penitentiary Institution of the RA Ministry of Justice at the initiative of the National Cinema Center of Armenia.
The feature film, "Amerikatsi" directed by Michael A. Goorjian, was showcased during the event. The movie narrates the poignant story of Charlie, who returns to Soviet Armenia to rediscover his roots.
It delves into the themes of unconditional love, even in the face of prison bars, and exemplifies the enduring qualities of patience and hope.
Michael Goorjian, who is presently in Armenia, agreed to participate in the event and personally introduce the film. Jean-Pierre Nshanyan, one of the actors from the movie, also joined the occasion.
Following the screening, the members of the film's creative team engaged in a warm conversation with the inmates and addressed their questions.
