SYNOPSIS: On the 27th day of September 2020, Azerbaijani forces supported by NATO member Turkey launched full scale attacks on the Armenian region of Nagorno-Karabakh, also known as Artsakh. Former British Royal Marines Commando turned documentary filmmaker Emile Ghessen, travelled to the region to see first-hand what was going on. The war lasted 44 days and on the 45th day, a trilateral peace agreement was signed, ending hostilities between Armenia and Azerbaijan. With thousands of men killed and thousands of people displaced from their homes, Armenia lost the majority of their territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. The raw unseen footage of 45 Days: The Fight For A Nation, produced by Asko Akopyan, tells the story of the war and post war from an Armenian perspective in a humanisation feature documentary film.
