Boston Hamazkayin screening the documentary “Blessing of the Mountain”

WATERTOWN, Mass.—The Hamazkayin Armenian Educational and Cultural Society of Boston will present a screening of Blessing of the Mountain, a documentary about the Armenians of Musa Ler and Anjar, on Sunday, June 25, at 5 p.m. EST at the Armenian Cultural and Educational Center (ACEC) in Watertown, MA. Filmmaker Tamar Chahinian from Montreal will be in attendance to partake in a Q&A following the screening. 

Blessing of the Mountain is a testimony of the difficult journey of Musa Dagh inhabitants, beginning with the heroic battle of 1915 until the establishment of Anjar village in Lebanon, and after that, the village’s 80-year development. Chahinian says that the film represents the struggle of all diasporan Armenians after 1915 to hold onto their identity, religion and culture. This educational film is one hour and 22 minutes in length and is presented in Armenian, the original language of the film, with English subtitles.
