Voices from the Lake

The Witnesses Trilogy - Part 1

Runtime
87 min
Documentary

Synopsis

25 years in research and production, this feature-length documentary on the Armenian Genocide focuses on the day-to-day tragedy unfolding in Kharpert-Mezreh, one among 4000 towns and villages of the former Ottoman empire in 1915, where monumental forces were unleashed by a policy of annihilation. Includes eyewitness accounts of American and European officials, missionaries, and educators, and by Armenian survivors. These are revealed for the first time, through censored reports, classified documents and hidden diaries. Scratched-out journals are decoded with the help of digital technology.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
