The Armenian Americans
The Armenian Americans captures the spirit of this amazing culture and
its legacy of inspiration, achievement, perseverance, and survival. Personal
recollections from three generations of proud Armenians - including tennis
champion Andre Agassi, author Peter Balakian, actor Mike
Connors, actor/writer Eric Bogosian, actress/writer Andrea
Martin, NCAA basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, historians, musicians,
politicians, religious leaders, and corporate executives - pay warm tribute and
celebrate why there has never been a better time to be an Armenian American.
The Armenian Americans hears voices from a generation
invigorated by Armenia's independent status speak with unprecedented candor
about the 1915 Genocide that scattered survivors around the world and the ways
in which Armenian American families have tethered this cultural identity for
generations to come. The program illuminates a fascinating journey from the top
of Mount Ararat to the top of America's most successful industries in a very
personal nostalgic family album.
The Armenian Americans radiates with the insistent pride
and determination of a large extended family, and highlights famous Armenian
descendants in American mainstream culture, including the late Pulitzer
Prize-winning author William Saroyan, featured in a rare audio recording of his
work.
