Aurora's Sunrise
Inna Sahakyan / AM, DE, LT, 2022 / 96 min.
In 1919, Aurora Mardiganian played herself in the silent film Auction of Souls: the story of a teenage girl who survives the Armenian genocide and escapes to America. In her animated documentary, Inna Sahakyan reconstructs this hellish, forgotten, exceptional odyssey.
Aurora Mardigianian is just fourteen years old when most of her family are murdered during the Armenian genocide, and she is old into slavery. After finally managing to escape, she flees to the United States, where she soon comes to the attention of Hollywood.
