I AM NOT ALONE

ART OF IMPACT

Armenia 2019, 90 min Director GARIN HOVANNISIAN
In 2018, a revolution was sparked in Armenia when the journalist and activist Nikol Pashinyan began a march across the country in protest of their corrupt government and the re-election of Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan for a third consecutive term. During the two week trek, Pashinyan demanded Sargysan’s resignation and advocated for peaceful resistance. He inspired a groundswell of support that culminated in massive country-wide demonstrations that were met with brutal opposition by Sargsyan, the Republican Party, and the police force. I Am Not Alone chronicles the unbelievable story of how Pashinyan’s fight for his country changed the course of history. Riveting and informative, I Am Not Alone is a film for our times: a meticulously documented dissection of class and power struggle. In Armenian and English with English subtitles

AWARDS: TIFF 2019—Audience Award, Runner-Up; AFI Fest 2019—Audience Award
