So I really hope that this film will remind the world that we need to learn from lessons from the past, and this film can somehow help the world to become a better place without wars and genocides.
I know this sounds a bit romantic, at the same time, I really think that this film is a universal poetic testimony of the strengths of human spirit.
Aurora never gave up her humanity, despite the total inhuman surroundings.
Despite [the] hardship of her life, she always stayed true to herself and helped others.
She wished to talk about the Armenian genocide.
She wished to reach justice for her own nation, and I'm retelling her story in this film, and I hope that Auroras Sunrise will continue her mission.
