The first line of every Armenian fairy tale THERE WAS THERE WAS NOT tells the collective myth of a homeland lost forever — and four women’s resistance to that loss. Emily Mkrtichian’s powerful and visually stunning award-winning documentary about Artsakh will premiere in NYC at the DOC NYC Film Festival with the filmmaker in attendance on Monday Nov. 19 & Wednesday Nov. 20.
