“Traversed” goes into production!

Traversed, a short documentary about Armenia being directed by two Birthright Armenia alumni, Alex Igidbashian and Emily Mkrtichian, has reached above and beyond its goal through a successful Kickstarter campaign that ended on August 27th. Traversed had an original goal of $14,000 and instead raised $16,133, leaving the project with plenty of money for a great documentary.

Alex and Emily will be filming in Armenia until the end of 2014. They will visit places in every corner of the country in different seasons of the year. The ultimate goal of this film is to paint a portrait of Armenia that most people don't get to see - a country that is complex, beautiful, and standing at a crossroads of history. Like the other films that they have made in Armenia, Traversed will be for an international audience. It will give people around the world a beautiful glimpse into this ancient and modern world that they may never have heard of. Likewise, it will give Armenians a new perspective on familiar territory. 

The documentary will be released in March of 2015.
